There's genuinely nothing to see, the props in 2 and gear linkage m5 rod end got broken, that's it fuel lines electrics side panels all fine. Oh it was a tad noisy.

If it lasted ten years I'd repair it yourself but maybe check it again in nine years time just to be safe

Can't you make up a video with sound effects etc. ? At least make it more dynamic for us lot

Another vote for D&F BTW, excellent service and really helpful.

What??? You mean it didn't eat through the chassis and cut you in half like they ALWAYS do when they fail!?
