We had our fun fly yesterday and it was fun until the Edge expired 
The prop hub snapped off the crank of the GP-176EVO after 3 flights! No warning at all. I had kept it high for the first 2 flights because I hadn't flown the plane in about 6 months and had to re-trim it after the new radio system had been installed. On the 3rd flight I was feeling comfortable and was doing a knife edge pass on the outside edge of the runway and the prop and hub went one direction, the plane another. I made a quick decision to get a little altitude and try to turn the plane around to hit the runway because I didn't have enough room to set it down the direction it was heading. I got a little altitude and started turning it around but didn't make it. about 3/4's of the way around it stalled and let me tell you 20' is not enough altitude to get a 42% plane back from a stall. She was a great plane for many hundreds of flights. RIP Edge.
The prop, wheels, electronics and exhaust all survived perfectly so there will be another plane in the hanger shortly. Probably another 330LX as a backup plane for IMAC.

I am glad your electronics and other items survived even though the plane was lost.
