This was the third crash of significance in the life of this airplane. The first one was straight into the ground and took the fuse out to behind the wing saddle. The rebuild of that airframe will be caught up in another crash and rebuild thread that I started last winter. The second one was a nearly pulled up in time that seperated the firewall a bit, and was easily repaired. This crash left the engine hanging off the front end as mentioned, I glided it post impact about 30 yards into some tall grass where it came to rest. I had full control of it as I watched the guts hang in horror. The receiver has a couple of cracks on it. I'm not sure if these were from this crash or from the first one. After the first big crash I range tested everything while running and never had any kind of glitch problems at all. I pulled the board out tonight and looked it over. There don't appear to be any cracks on it and there is no sign of any damage to the innerds... Would you think that doing a range check running, perhaps for a half tank or so would show any potential issues? If not, does anyone know of a reliable place to get this sort of stuff checked out in Canada?
