giant BVM F-18 blows up in flight
Seen this video on youtube, was uploaded a few days ago. feel sorry for the owner, imagine after something like this nothing probably survived, video says it was twins I know its expensive.
I watched the video on my big screen in slow motion plenty of times, sure looks like the elevators failed. he had just taken off and made only 2 turns, coulndt have been going very fast.. Terrible loss was a beautiful jet. wonder what caused the failure,

the quote below is from the video description, what a shame
Reason for failure was because the servo was using a nylon (dubro) style servo arm spline; this was because the servo was upgraded from the stock spark servos. The stock arm is metal
