yikes...

any ideas on how to find this before failure? i know its just a slight offset and bending that doesnt add a lot of vibration but the stress is immense on the hardened brittle crank...

you make it feel like a roll of the dice. of course it is with experimental helicopters.

Practice your auto's!!!

i had a lazy 3.2 hour flight yesterday to get a burger and i felt guilty because i didnt practice a single auto in that time...
