the stunt pig ate a chair yesterday- its a tough little bird - i think i made the right choice for my stunt trainer

i was doing flips - tried a piro flip, overshot it, and all went real bad real fast - heli was nose-in, inverted, and heading straight for me - i tried to flip it back and got sideways and it took off like a rocket to the left - the rotor head took a huge chunk out of a the top of plastic chair that was sitting there and pieces went spraying all over the room

one blade grip sheared off at the bearing - the other blade broke at the bolt - bent spindle shaft into a u shape, had to cut it out - one servo to swash linkage was bent like a pretzel (i think possibly from a strike from the blade that broke off) - swashplate was separated but snapped right back together - main shaft was fine - metal boom has a huge dent in it but is sound - everything else came through it all scratched up but solid, good tough plastic

ordered 2 blade grips, 2 spindle shafts, and 2 sets of blades - not bad for a hit that would have ate the whole cp head and most probably would have trashed the cp's cf boom
