HOLY CRAP!!!
That guy should invest in a tach!

Blade Busters is Motion's club site down in Florida. (long pause to browse the site) I'll be darned! He's got a couple of my photos on there! I haven't been to his site in a while. Pretty cool! Nice, Motions! :cool:

Cool find, too Vapochilled! :cool:

So that is the consequences of an over revving rotor head ??

Why what Blax?
Over reved, no pitch, maybe a blade let go that just throws everything else to the fan!
The camera moves too quick, I tried stopping it down to a frame a time, but it's too blurred to see anything.

After watching it a couple of times, this almost looks intentional. The camera guy moved back, but the pilot was still stupid enough to stay close, so maybe not. Could have just been a noob not knowing that could happen. I know of a guy here who did the same thing, but was lucky enough to have an experienced pilot yell at him to shut it down before something like this happened.

that was my initial thought, I also thought it was maybe a PS job, as the the bits flew just a little too quickly. :confused:

Ok vapo, sorry absolutely no experience with nitro, I take your point, but I really wasn't sure what he was trying to achieve, (apart from trying to take off) if you listen to video again the thing explodes when the engine has been throttled back, I guess it must have been the latent speed remaining in the rotor head RPM
