Ok toady I got the Belt-Cp setup with New G401b gyro and new servo and main blades. I had It tuned PERFECT best I have ever done before blades tracked great. So I took it outside to finish the setup of tail(didnt take much). Spooled it up 1 or so little hops to trim it out the BAAAM the main blades blew apart at the roots. One landed about 60-70 ft away by my truck, the blades stuck the tail boom, hit the New canopy and tossed my lipo 10 ft away, broke my tail blade spindle, and mangled my CopterX head. When i walked up to it i noticed the new CF blade( found the other 15mins later)it was foam on inside with a fiberglass root and the covering is plastic. So here it is in a nice pile again

Kyle....I've the exact same thing happen on a Kingv2...blade (plastic) failed at the root...it wasn't mine either. I gotta say my carnage was a lot less than yours. I had just installed a complete CNC upgrade on it for a guy...I didn't make a dime on that one, had to use the $$$ to buy parts (LMAO). One minuet, yer watching a decient hover, next minuet...parts flying everywhere. Man....they EXPLODE on a root failure.
