That's a bummer Gary.

At least you've got "a few"other planes to fly though :sunny:

bummer....sincere regrets

Thanks Joe, Thanks Mike... It's hard seeing the remnants on my office floor, but the fuse forward of the turtle deck is shards and gone. No chance for a rebuild. It was fun while it lasted. Absolutely sexy looking airplane.

Since I'm off tomorrow and the afternoon looks flyable, I'll try and take the 106 back out tomorrow and see if we can get the kinks worked out, and also plan to get some more time on the 71"
Not sure yet what else ill bring.
89" Slick, 70" Velox, 64" MXS, and 48" Vyper are all flyable... But I'll only bring 3 total to the field.

Dang, that's a rough way to toast a 6S pack

For sure, he needs some 65C packs for that kind of flying. On my PL8 my Glacier 6S-3300's IR measure 1.8-2.7 that is outstanding for a 30C but it's still not a 65C. Going to be interesting to see if that ESC is going to hold up. Now I understand when reading all of the fire posts on the Castle Cremation threads it always seemed worse on helis.

Mine read about the same on my PL6. According to this http://www.jj604.com/LiPoTool/ they're right about where they should be. I have around 180 cycles on my 6s 3300s and they're still going strong and have retained the low IR.

I'm going with some Pulse 45C 6s 4500mah batteries. It seems as if that is what everyone else is using (team SAB). The ESC is holding up great though so far, hardly gets warm and the governor seems to be working well also.

Anyone want an mcPX? I've beat mine up pretty good, but it still flies. Whether or not the tail will hold, that's a different story.
Since I got the 6HV, the mcPX just collects dust. Has aluminum blade grips, and aluminum swash, solid CF main shaft. Includes about 5 sets of spare main blades, a spare tail blade, NIP main gear, feathering shafts. $20 + shipping
