RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
I had a small mishap with my 125. Any guesses on what this might cost to have fixed? Is this something I should try to fix myself? I own no fancy machine shop straightening tools, nor tools to precisely measure straightness or length to check spec which parts are messed up. Who would be best (costwise and dependability-wise) to send it to for repair?
Obvious issues
- the muffler ripped out part of the threads in the head
- the intake is crushed
- one of the pushrod tubes is bent
What else is likely to be busted? It was on my Funtana 90 on flight #68 (about 7 gallons through the new engine). I had just lifted off and reached my fat thumb over to trim my elevator and I bumped the power switch off on my TX. It went in at about 1/2 throttle from about 150 feet at a 30 degree decline. It took me roughly 2 seconds of stupor after the crash to realize that I had bumped the off switch. Thank you for any advice (besides "quit flying, you Saito-trashing, $339 wasting fool.")
