60inch crc mti twin electric I ran yesterday. I can hear a thud before she goes airborne https://youtu.be/B3xSeuoWHWc
Turtle, debris, Mechanical failure or driver error??

If you slow it down, the hull veers right and then air gets under the left side and causes the flip. I couldn't see anything obvious that caused the change in direction, the boat seemed to be tracking pretty straight prior to that.Last edited by fweasel; 10-16-2016, 05:00 PM.Vac-U-Tug Jr (13mph)Comment

I agree with fweasel. That didn't look anything like a collision. As for the veer, there may have been steering input during that short second the hull was out the water coming off of one of the chops. With no hull in the water, the rudder will easily rotate the rear end.Comment

The way the rudder is bent and not kicked back, also no prop damage.
I would say that it got bent on landing, hitting the water.
