Repair or Replace

[wbefield]

Yesterday I had a mishap  on my Rush 750.  A screw holding my boom supports backed out and my Rail 696 blades ate it.  nom nom.

The damage goes all the way into the foam core and is pretty soft in the area.

Anyways, should I replace this blade or is it repairable?

Sorry to hear about that.
I would say replace. The integrety of the blade i compromised.  I would not feel comfortable flying them repaired.

A chip with some CA is one thing but that's too far for my comfort. A good pitch pump could shred that in half I think.

+3 that's a major crack, I would replace

The 700 size already has enough pucker factor to it without having to worry about a blade breaking off in mid-flight. Time to order a new set.  Thanks for the opinions!

Replace it Brother, I've scrapped and ran them spitting foam out of the tips! Never chance when Mid Span in the chord. You Ever seen one of these bad boys Cone!! Not a pretty sight. Like B said, One good Pull and Gravity will win.   oh and don't forget to DUCK!!!

That happened to some one next to us at IRCHA. Is it common to have a tail boom support get into the blades? I noticed one of my ends was loose after my last crash.

Replace is my vote also
