  • Goblin down !

    Lost all power to motor ? I was inverted coming back to me ,manage to flip it upright but lost all head speed . Actually landed/crashed upright and stayed upright !
    thought it wasn't to bad ,until I got a bit closer ?

          ? The frames must be very weak if that happens on a heavy upright landing!

            Depends massively on the crash as to how things break. By the sounds of it, the breakaway boom mounts did their thing so not too bad.

                    The boom stayed in place ? Just looked like it landed in the field !

                          It's amazing how that happens. I went online last week to order a case for my Disco but received an 700L instead.....and I can't even pass it off as an alcohol related purchase as I was sober! Must be the warm weather affecting my brain
