Crashed the Raptor

Lost orientation doing stall turns at sunset, thought she was nose in when she was tail in.
Canopy is pretty bad, blades, boom, skids, flybar, main gear, tail servo rod, bent the muffler and stripped out the bolts, broke the needle valve off the carb.
Not sure if I am going to rebuild.

Sorry about the crash. Not a pretty sight.

Hey Troy- not to worry.

Little spackle, JB Weld, paint and about $800.00 and she will be good as new- fuel tank looks fine.

OH boy does that bring back memories

And those are not fond memories.

Hey Rog, can you see if you have any v2 main rotor grips in stock at greenfield?
And a set of skids, I have everything to convert it to a .50, so I am

I'll check tomorrow.

Thanks Rog, I need a muffler also, but I need you to stay out of that!

No got and the importer says late June for the grips. I would try Helliproz. They carry a large inventory.

Heliproz is out as well as all the usual places I go, even Ron Lund is out

Found 'em!

Great!

Practicing INVERTED MAYBE Troy?

Does anybody have a spare v2 main rotor grip?
I got an email from the place i ordered it from, they have discontinued those parts and cancelled my order

At Great Planes they said that the Titan grips were a substitute, but were backordered.

Why don't ya just use that roll of tape on the bench.

Found and ordered them here... http://www.helihobby.com/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?q=pv0353
Fingers crossed.
