F.Y.I. Be sure to use a battery strap!




I guess Josh Bixler isn't the only one who can sling off a canopy. Now I have an excuse to repaint to something more pleasant.

Ouch. Tough break there, aiidan.

hope the repair goes well!

The title made me think of children, for some reason.

 

[earthsciteach]

I had the same thought.

I had the same thought.

Make it 3!

Now that's funny. I too had the same dirty thoughts.

 

[aiidanwings]

I don't know why anyone would think that...

Hate to say it, but read the reply then I read your sig -- More rubber.

took a second to realize I read it wrong.

 

[colorex]

Awww... go fix it already!

And as for the title I thought it was about a computer virus...

Had a similar crash when I put in a motor upgrade. Had a thin ply battery tray with a velcro strap to secure the battery, but no velcro on the ply itself. Strap wasn't tight enough, when full elevator was applied on throttle up and takeoff the battery slid to the rear, causing a violently tail heavy condition.

Plane came down noseless with the wing popped out of its saddle.

Repaired and flown again many times since then. Velcro on the ply tray now as well as the strap.

Foam Tac will make yours all better.

Or as the rednecks would say "That'll buff out"

Hey, if it wasn't for a broken balloon, I wouldn't be here.

 

[aiidanwings]

Ah.. That's barely a scratch.

A few drops of epoxy and we'll be back up!

If I can peel myself away from reno air race videos on YouTube. I really like the Rare Bear!
