I'm buggered for the Nats now ae lol

Aw come on now.......
A little Ca glue, some Gorrila glue, a little Carbon fiber it just the right spots.....Hook that fuel tank up to a compresser and blow it out a tad..........Tweek those pushrods back in to shape.Might take a dab of JB Weld on the motor..........Heck that spinner is just extra weight anyway......
I bet you could have her up and flying again in a afternoon

Man that looks bad! Sorry for you loss.

Ah Dude what happened??

Thanks sucks mate, guess you will have to get the other one together for the Nats!!

Aww Snap. I remember you telling me "I've basically got a whole other model there in pieces"

I suggest you get to building mate.

Yeah Post Mortem revealed possible faulty crystal. 45 degree upline turned into 20 seconds of hell before it hit the ground vertically at full noise.

I'll see if I can source a new header pipe and a couple of servos, and I'll also get Patrick Neal to send me down the fuse of the other one. Finance is gonna be the problem.

So much for saving up big time for good gear. I thought that would stop this sort of thing from happening.

That's 90% of my years earnings in that model (Before those that don't know me query, I am only 17 and only work part time because of school)

Anywho... I'll have something to fly at the nats, even if it does only end up being a Formosa.

Oh and if you look closely at the pic of the motor you'll see that the tip of the glow plug is gone, the carb is broken off, and the glass mount snapped clean off.

I must get a shot of the header pipe. Its quite funny.

Man that sucks....

Im selling a Typhoon for my uncle now with a YS 140FZ.

Cher .... you lucky it didn't catch on fire !

BTW ... Just saw someone is selling a Matrix in the back page of the Fliers World for a pretty good price ... not sure who built it though.

lolz yeah next time i'll try harder

I'm trying to get hold of Patrick Neal, cuz he's got a fuse of a Typhoon of mine.

See you at the nats

This is Browny's old Matrix, the one that Mike brought never used and sold back to Roger Gibbs.

Kool. Rang Roger up and had a chat to him. I think it sounds like what I need.

Yea it probably is just what you need mate at this late stage!! Its very similar to Moped's Matrix (without the gay retracts) and was in reasonable nick last time I saw it (about 6 months ago).

Cheers,

Well that is if the motor is still the go. I might need a new carb and header pipe. Any idea where to get either of these?

Just so happens there is a used 140RX on Trademe at the moment, hasn't reached reserve yet but is at a pretty cheap price: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Toys-models...n-77361725.htm

Might be worth thinking about, cause spare parts are pricey.

Awesome. I'll try get that too. Money, money, money .......
