Default This just sucks

Dont ya hate it when a good model dies well before its time?

turning downwind after t/o on the 6th flight, rolled to left knife, then completely lost control. Torn apart, it was a prize in a competition so I feel bad for the organiser who doesnt really get to see how much I was enjoying my first slab.

If you do more than fly circles you are going to crash. They look bad right after the crash. Put it up for a couple of weeks and take another look at it. From the photo it looks like it would be a pretty simple repair. Glue that thing back together!

Sorry to hear that. We all know how that stinks. Hey Dale, I remember the death of that Extreme 330.[]

depfife, I wish I could, but most of the lower fuse is missig, so I just bought a new one instead. The wing is intact so i'll turn that into a wing/boom funfly for the nationals this year.

Jusplanenuts, I think you might be onto something, we've checked absolutely everything we can think of, and consulted modellers of all levels, and the only thing that comes up is that the rudder servo is taking the pack right down to the bottom light on the checker. It's only a hi-tec 605BB so I dont think it should do that on a 1300NiMh pack thats less than a year old?
