I think the right question should be, how much was left of the Raptor?

The heli probably made it through fairly well, all things considered.

Raptor 30 and a plane for me. He looped up under my heli - which was going slower than he thought. Heli fell like a stone and plane kept going. Heli broke tail, canopy, blades, both frames, servos and muffler, plus most everything else. He tried to keep flying on 1 1/2 wings, failed and totalled it with engine buried up to the wing. Destroyed down to the battery pack in separate cells.

I watched mine crash, then watched his crash 10 seconds or so later. The general feeling was "Wow!, don't want to do that again"


Nice video!

I saw it happen with a rappy 50 and a twist.

Twist was annihilated, the rappy landed. Needed blades and a few other things, the damage wasn't bad.
