Impromptu Spot Landing!(Crash)

 Here I am flying an AXN that we have modded a bit to fit a Boscam H.D.19 as well as a flightcam on pan tilt.

She is a 910mhz bird. A bit of coreflute and glue and she was up and flyin!

Astute viewers will note that the impact was not overly destructive.

We put some thought into the setup and worked in what we saw as usefull "points of failure".

Below is just after we got her inside.

Slathering hotgluewas not needed here,as two dabs(one on each side after frogtape covering)gave plenty of hold.

This helps with not tearing great bits of foam off your plane,and will help with snapping your pan/tilt mount or stripping your servo head.

Epo foam will take a lot of abuse.Paking tape will help keep your foam in place,and helps with gravel landings If it crumples you can leave it in the sun and it will decompress some.

If you need to repair somthing more than a ding,you can remove the electronics and use very hot water to help expand the foam to somthing like new.(Pratice makes perfect)

Below is a pulled antenna.Not enough slack and your flexing foam may do this to your wiring. 

This piece of coroplast failed just as we had hoped it would, flexing and breaking some to absorb the impact and transfer the shock rather than resist.=o)

Below is a shot of the only crack from the fall. Near the fuselage,easly hotglued.

Leftside crinkle.Lets hear it for packing tape!
