Stryker- Very nice carnage! It looks like it was your tail was the victim of a wicked blade strike. I must say that I bent my tail pretty bad once like that. You should still be able to save it. I used a [link=http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?cat=Hand+Tools%2C+General+Purpose&pid=0 0941752000&vertical=TOOL&subcat=Screwdrivers&BV_Se ssionID=@@@@0064014263.1178062389@@@@&BV_EngineID= cckdaddkkmmhklkcefecemldffidflk.0]Long #2 16 inch Craftsman Phillips screwdriver[/link], that I randomly happened to have, to straighten mine back out. I placed the tip of the screwdriver in the end of the tail boom, put the srewdriver on the ground, and jammed to boom down onto it until the screwdriver shaft came out the other end. The boom ended up being straight enough to reuse and it also popped out most of the large dent from the blade strike Not a real scientific way to straighten it and it is by no means perfect but I can now reuse that tail if I need to. Later, I bought a complete tail assembly, boom, motor, rotor, stabalizer, motor wire, ect off ebay for $30 becuase you can never have too many spare parts lying around. Good luck with your repairs.
