Man this crash was nuts! Jesse (owner) was at the far left flight station, and i was in the middle one flying my swift. I landed my swift to make a quick adjustment, and just then i heard a realllly loud blade noise and engine bog. I knew Jesse was flying next to me, and knew he hadnt reached the flying ability yet for his heli to be making these noises. I looked over just as soon as i heard, and just as i looked i watched the heli smash into the ground...Crazy noise. It even broke his OS 50 in half. Poor jesse, he seemed fairly ok with it though.

None of the rotorhead parts were broke, the shafts were bent, but no head parts were damaged. I have one of those V Blade TST's hanging on my wall right now, jesse was kind enough to dig one out of the garbage and give to me

Duct tape

In Canada we use Duct tape for minor repairs like that. Better wrap two layers around that Hyper.

the pipe was the only salvage.

WHAT!!....HOW?? How did anything survive that? I've damaged pipes whilst transporting and this guy hits the runway at mach 2 and walks away with his!....Nice...Go on, do that again I dare you!

Never seen a 50 Hyper split like that......a shame but makes for a great story not to mention an interesting paper weight......

And...

It was just a loud thud followed by silence
don't you just hate that sound, usually hearing the thud about 2 seconds after you see the machine total itself on the runway, kinda rubs salt in the wound.......

Better luck with the 600N
