Crashed the 500

[Ken Jackson]

Thanks guys. I actually just replaced the tail servo. It had 2 flights on it counting this one. I think I damaged a TT tooth when I set down earlier in the flight to see who had just texted me. I remember when I took off it sounded different. Hard to say I did a bunch of flips and inverted flight prior to when this happened. Hope it was only the missing teeth, don't want to do this again for a while.

Did you have the black gears in it?

Black gears up front but Whites in the rear. I have all black gears in route, including the main gear. The main gear I just replaced has been in 3 or 4 crashes. One tooth broke.


Thanks for asking but I caught Tony's post recently regarding the black gears. Seems a little superstitious but I was flying a beat up canopy knowing if I changed it I would crash, Lol.

Actually did crash the second flight, you just watched that crash canopy looks OK except for one mark.
