Hi Bassslayer. The photos of the grass, are from where my main blades dug in while doing inverted grass cutting during my noon demo flight at IRCHA. The damaged helicopter, is in fact the one I was flying at the time. The darker spot in the grass, are about 1.5 inches deep. I took it all the way to the dirt..lol. That`s what I get for flying too close to the planet, I guess.
The only damage, was both pitch links lost, one pitch arm bent, one broken servo horn, and a damaged swash plate. No damage to any of the blades, or the airframe. Gaui gave the parts to repair it, but I have not gotten around to doing the repairs yet.
Here is a photo of the pre-crop circle crash..
