Incident Details

January 2, 2011 Location of the incident: , Type of Incident:

Done my preflight check on everything as always.I have foot launched for 6 years until now with over 2000 hours flight time. This was my 4th flight on my new Quad and really loved the way it launched so easy,and landing was great also.On my 5th flight the rear axle broke for no apperent reason as i was at full taxi speed. The quad spun around at full speed and turned up on its side.I put my hand down to stop the roll over.That was a mistake.I have since upgraded the fiberglass axle with a higher grade fiberglass axle.
