    Going to take the plunge and cut the fairing on my 12 blade and fit some crash bungs, any tips?

    Which cost rucks more than the 'Drill' version and will inflict far more damage in any meaningful accident as the brackets will bend and cause carnage.


    Go for the Drilled version and use a Cone cutter for a far neater job.

    Hmmm,I think R&G would argue against that. What we must all remember is that crash bungs are no miracle product. I recently saw an RC8 after a relatively low speed drop that was fitted with crash bungs look like it was a write off. One thing I noticed in particular was that where the crash bung was bolted it had cracked and ripped the bolt out of the engine mount:eek:
    Maybe brackets with a bit of flex aren't a bad thing?
