    Came into the dock a bit too fast today. Both motors and the CF plate holding the servo/RX came loose as well causing one of the flex cables to twist into a knot.

      Ahhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooo!!!
      I hate to see this sort of thing happen to anyone. Even worse when it is someone you know. I feel sorry for you Chuck but sorry does not help much I know.
      Looks quite repairable but still not a nice thing to happen.
      I just came home from a very enjoyable run with my Drambuie to see this. Kind of takes the shine off my morning.

        Doc W if you read this that Swordie 300 works great. Tried it on 9s in the Drambuie this morning and it came back as cool as Douggie in a pair of shades. The anti spark gizmo I made works fine too.

          yes it's repairable ... but probably won't run again until next year.

            A winter project to help pass the time. Do your lakes freeze over Chuck?

              You should rename it from duk-fuka to CRASHTEST DUMMY .
              That must certainly looks very much 'a bit too fast' ...
              Anything is repairable ( I keep telling the surgeons ! )

                Result was a big smile

                98.7 kph. I noticed one battery was quite a bit warmer than the other so I guess the Grim Reaper will soon visit that one. It would not balance well when I charged it. I have a good 6s and 4s here so they are next to try but it is back to work at midnight tonight.

                  Man this is something that America could sell to us Aussies. If you like boats and water then you are going to love this Lake of the Ozarks Shootout Documentary
                  Doc we could pack a few plane loads of your rich mates on 15 or 20 jets and show them the best week in their entire lives with our guided tours of the bars, boats and babes. We should make a killing and have some fun at the same time. This is one beautiful part of the USA and what a great event.

                  Put this on full screen and set it it HD and enjoy the best 46 minutes of your week...

                      OMG,Paddy that's a 120mile run..
                      Hmm we'd be able to do that in around 60 2x6S pack changes.

                      Perhaps Steven from this wonderful forum would care to extend sponsorship to us ever appreciative Aussies ?
                      He can pay our airfares, accmomodation and lipo requirements, I'll cover the more expensive bar tab

                        You have got your Akubra on now Doc. He did say he wanted to sponsor someone and what better Aussies could he sponsor than us? Don't answer that

                          LOL, but as a person born in bonny Scotland and now resides in Canada under the scrunity of the secret service I can tell Aussies to take a hike on their issues and Doc you are number one on the list...Love you all.

                                Umm we dont put turn fins on SAW riggers!!! A fin like that might help it float but it is sure gunna make for a lot of drag.
