East Coast CT Fliers "Ask the Tank"! - Page 3

That sucks to see man, glad not a whole lot got damaged. Really sucks about the DA, but I'm sure you'll get it back before you know it. How was it running after the rebuild?

It was kickin ass. I didnt lose an ounce of power. I was doing some of those Schulman rolls right before I threw the prop over the pond. It almost took a serious dirt knap during those... so I thought I would take it easy... and hover over the water...

What are we going to do with you???

yeah I would send that in to DA, have them replace the hub and spindle atleast. Oh yeah and don't give all the credit to JeeUm for a strong airplane!

Hey Tank, would have been a sweet video. Had fun flying at Nall with you, we will have to hang out again. Good thing that wasnt your Yak!

That was the first time I've heard A PROP LAUNCH! Funky sound for sure. The sound when it hit the water lead us all to think there was a lot more damage than there was. Tank if you have them show the pics of the spinner and prop.

Illhave to take some pics of those. Man that spinner was thrashed! And the oddest prop damage I have ever seen. I punch-through on one blade... have no idea what caused that, because there is no strike on the leading or trailing edge right where the hole is.
