Well, my 88" Edge has been begging to get out and fly, and today was the day since I finally got a new charger, but half-way through the first flight, the prop shaft snapped off...
I lost the spinner, and Xoar 25X12E somewhere in a rattlesnake infested swamp....
fun day for sure, I don't have a problem with crashing a plane, if anyone's seen me fly, they will know that.. lol
But when it comes to equipment failure, I don't like it a bit. It ruins my whole day.
here's the damage... I also broke the cowl a little bit when I overshot the runway and flipped the plane in the grass.... not a fun day...
The prop was not overtightened. IMHO, it looks as if the metal that the shaft was manufactured from is to brittle for this application....
