A couple recent wrecks - WattFlyer RC Electric Flight Forums

*rider · 11-07-2009, 05:57 AM

I recently totalled my Pulse XT 25e, pics and short onboard video coming soon. I hit hard LVC at the worst possible time banking out of a wicked turn working into a knife-edge. DOH :o Pretty sure I washed the tail out. The entire airframe, power 32, and 4s lipo were completely destroyed as well as a single MN-48 servo stripped out. Luckily tho all other electronics survived.

The craziest crash of the day is documented here via an incredibly fast camera. You can see the pilot inverted off the deck with the rudder about an inch from the pavement. No lie! This was a high-speed pass BEFORE he wrecked. 100Mph + gasser as we hit it with the radar gun.

The pilot is very very skilled, but was really pushing the bleeding edge that day.
