Crash Report : Esky Belt CP #1

Had a crash yesterday with the my E-Sky Belt CP. Some damage:

One thing that surprised me about this crash is that the main gear survived without damage. The E-Sky Belt CP crashes like clockwork, these are the standard parts that break during a crash, next would be (after the normal main gear stripping) control rods breaking, the main shaft bending, the tail boom cracking, . Usually if you have enough force to crack the tail the frame suffers minor damage as well.

So the total crash cost was around $11 without the blades, which is not bad.

The crash was a tail in crash on the end of a forward flight piro, a move I'd been doing over and over and for some reason I just lost it into the deck. The Align tail assembly held up very well, no damage done.
