X7 SpinBlades Catastrophic Failure
I've only seen one other of these happen years ago, but had the unfortunate chance to see it again at the Redstick Heli Flyin this past weekend in Baton Rouge.
So lucky that nobody got badly injured. The blade that you see depart the fastest is the one that failed and it flew over the pits and hit my truck hood. The other piece separated lengthwise and hit the car next to me!
It's a good thing nobody else was flying in the next flight station because the batteries and other parts would have hit them.
It was raining Heli Parts!
