Nathan, Could you elaborate more as to what your failures were and what you felt caused them? I would be interested in how many were caused by either crashes or just plain hard landings at some of the rougher sites you guys fly at like Vincent and Parker. Also, how many just failed under normal use? I am just curious, not trying to raise doubt in your claim.
