60% crash very sad

The cause looks to be full rudder deflection and stuck thier. I heared Thier were 8 servos on rudder
60 % EXTRA 260 crash HD. " Wings & Wheels" 2013 (4 min 20 sec)

Wow. Incredible crash
4 questions.
What is that on top of the cowl?
Tuned pipes? The exhaust is near the tail
That spinner is tiny!
Lastly, how can the rudder hard over with 8 servos? Wouldn't that require at least 4 servos hard over or was it a radio thing?

Yes that's a tough one.....I can't feel his pain though...I have nothing that expensive to fly..maybe if I add all my aircraft over the years....but that would be a tough one to go home and explain to the wife....ouch

I watched that video, did anybody notice something dangling at the wingtips? Was he going to "deploy" ribbons from the wingtips at some point?
