I don't think you need to send it to DA, I got the screws, and the ones that broke are easily removed with an exacto knife, I have done it many times, ask Craig.

It tore up the hub pretty good around the holes with some serious burrs. Plus, the front shaft broke off.

Taking another look, yes you should send it to DA, it is more than just bolts.

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...

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.
