That 3M heavy duty velcro stuff is impressive. I had some laying around from some other projects and left a 4" piece in my pocket before putting my pants through the wash. Brand new with the backing still on the adhesive sides. Went through a full wash and dry...and the backing is still on. I cut a small piece off the other day curious to see if the adhesive still has any stick left to it...and it seems as good as new still. I was impressed!
I also had a similar situation with my BW today. Only it wasn't the battery I ejected. Was flying in about 15mph winds with even stronger gusts and was amazed at how well the BW was handling the winds in my novice hands. Was even having fun doing some acrobatics to show off for my wife and daughter. Then suddenly the plane appeared to just explode in mid-air. Pieces flying in every direction!
The power pod came down separate from the rest of the plane (leading me to assume the skewer had come loose) and hit the ground only about 5' away from where my girls were sitting. Scared my wife but delighted my daughter who loves recovering my wreckage and doesn't realize the potential danger. The plane itself just kept going. No electronics, no swappable pod - servo wires dangling out the bottom. Actually flew straighter than with me at the sticks I think. And with the wind I ended up on a good hike to go get it (wound up down in a ravine a couple hundred feet downwind) where it had landed better than it normally does when under my control
Oh and it turned out the skewer was still in the plane. What seems to have happened is the skewer just tore right through the foam of the power pod (and I had used board I covered in packing tape for this pod!) letting the pod come loose from the plane. The prop cut the servo wire to the ESC and the other two servo wires just got tugged loose. RX got tore off it's velcro and landed by itself, half of the prop landed by itself halfway between the pod and the plane, and the foam of the pod has lost all structural strength from the crash. The FT laser cut firewall is fine though despite the hard nose in hit! (Though this morning I cracked a FT firewall with a gentle nose over on my Old Fogey...I've noticed they either take a beating like nothing else or they crack straight across right above the top holes used to mount a 24g motor if you look at them funny.)
Most spectacular wreck I've had yet and barely a scratch on the plane itself since all the heavy bits landed separately
