Worst Crash? While showing off for my brother I executed a beautiful stall turn, went straight into another death defying stall turn and didnt pull up in time. My Raptor plowed into the ground at about 50 mph. Only the motor, main fuel tank, and electronics survived. My brother was very impressed. |
