Danger Live dangerously, fly a Crapinson Flimsicopter

Make sure your blades don't come off, or delaminate on their own, as they a prone to do SO OFTEN.

I have had 2 friends killed in Robo products & another 1 near catastrophe from an in-flight blade delamination, they ONLy just walked away as the delam happened near the end of a practiced auto.

I have 2 good Engineer friends who have both expressed their concern to the way this product is made; its made to a price, cheep, very cheep & very nasty. I have seen a blade with some delamination fresh from the box straight out of the factory & NEVER FLOWN yet!!! Good one yer, right - flimsicopters

Are they safe? Robo's kill more Pilots than any other machine. Crash one & You will be lucky to walk away, if the post crash-fire does not get to You first. RIP

I fly 'em too, yep but only when I have to, sure they are crisp & precise to fly (well don't mention the cyclic shhhhiiite its like the war, mums the word) but given unlimited choice; NEVER.

If we all boycott them, they might just go away, yes just go away............

Good Luck & Happy Landings.
