Revorocks Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Somthing in the engine, massive air leak, detonation and piston has shattered. Just a guess, strip it down and get some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe of loath Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) It's very blurred (press the macro button on the camera [looks like a flower)]. It makes close up pictures much clearer) but it looks like the LSN has popped out? Edited March 20, 2009 by joe of loath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revorocks Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Blimey. Never seen somthing like that before...

Should get a replacement easily providing you havnt been tinkering with the LSN, mind you, they won't know that . No LSN to tinker with! Engine returned to supplyer for full rebuild (with all the parts fitted this time). If rebuild not possible, replacement engine .

Its worth the effort for the days when it all goes well and you have a great day and don't break anything, unfortunately I have yet to have one of these.

m3lyc Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Its worth the effort for the days when it all goes well and you have a great day and don't break anything, unfortunately I have yet to have one of these. I have loads of them! Took X1 CR out yesterday in glorious sunshine and had loads of cartwheels and bad landings and didnt break a thing. Stayed in tune aswell.
