I believe they said he lost a stab on his comp-arf super extra on friday, screw came loose, something along those lines, it was flying today though, my favorite pilot was the 14 year old from Austria with the Krill Katana S, Bad Ass

Thanks Keith!

Yuri's stab broke during practice on Thursday I think. He hasn't had any mechanical failures yet I don't think. The competition is really tight this year and I promise tomorrow will have the best and craziest flying yet. Everyone knows they have to pull out all the stops.

What's the difference between a known and an unknown in the XFC? As I understood it's all freestyle right?

Guys it was off the hook today. Everyone was pushing it to the limit. There were some choppers balled up by pushing just a touch too low. I wish that I could be there tomorrow to see the finals. But, someone has to man the ambulance.

To all competitors great job by all. For those that didn't make the finals, you were pushing it to the limit and giving it your all. Thanks for the show!!!
