Rotor tip damage on an RC heli will unbalance the head enough to cause additional damage even if it will still fly for a bit.

Thanks for the DM article.

I've been here and there watching for updates from NASA and all that there appeared today (hence the date of the flight noted in the title of this thread) was the 72 flight info on the log.

I had checked up on general news items shortly ahead of that as well.

Thus it was all crossing in the info stream as I went about my day otherwise.

You didn't need to be rude, but thanks for posting a little about yourself.
