lucky lucky boy....

Long story short.....just come out of a stall turn and heading past myself when i saw something come off my heli,as i see it i hit TH and land her.As im walking towards her she right begins to shake and then blades slow down enough to stop them....What the hell, i see that the upgraded bolt that goes through and holds. the ball on the blade grip has sheared right off.How lucky is that.Not a scratch on my heli, now if that blade had come out of track...well it would have been a different story

Well this time ive been lucky for once...Ordered some new upgrades and off we go again

You saw a bolt come off that holds on a ball? Don't know about the Rave, but on most helis those bolts are M2 aren't they? Like tiney-weeny-micro-scopic?

I can't see them when they're on the bench in front of me, let alone when the heli is flying past me.

You must have bionic eyesight my friend.

Well done on the save.

Erm well yes Tony once i saw what had happened a had a bit of a sphincter contraction moment.They are M3 bolts but what i must have seen was the ball grip with the rod attatched to it(i think).This was a problem with the early ball grip design and cyb has since made the upgrades,why this one failed im not sure at all.Its just nice for once to get a bit lucky and now exactly what the issue was......
