Took the Warp out for a spin.
Was flying the crap out of it. High speed Piroflips low to the deck.
All of a sudden, a very nasty noise and the tail let go![Eek :eek1: :eek1:](/images/smilies/eek.gif)
I was half way through a piro flip, so was too low to flip back over.
Cut the throttle and hovered it inverted as long as I could, until the headspeed was too low to stay in the air.
Plopped to the ground with no damage![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The cause of the tail malfunction....... A disintegrated tail bearing.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
