After being down all summer due to tail troubles we took the Pantera out for a test flight today. I had some othere issues pop up that now have me back down. Time to order yet more parts. I'm hoping some of you guys can take a look at it with me at Ircha and see what the problem is.

Wow,did the arm break in flight. Never seen that one. Or did it bust up when you crashed?

JD,

Snapping in half in flight had to be from previous crash damage because there's no way that happens in flight, absolutely no way!

My 2¢

I know the breaking strength of the arms and believe me, it simply isn't happening in the air. Nonetheless, I'd like to see it, but because I'll have other things on my mind at IRCHA, mail it to me instead if you want me to eyeball it - and please put a note inside reminding me of events.

Sure I worry about it, it's why I am interested in seeing the arm. I am PMing you on the subject.

Like JB typed.
The only way I can see the arm flying apart is from an old crash.
Just a hairline crack can be bad.

That was probaby it. I should have the new parts tomorrow and I'm putting on the old stock swash. Hopefully this will do it. Thanks.
