Yikes!

Sorry to hear about that Augusto. Well, you're a pioneer in new maneuvers & now of fireballs!

Naming it the Fury was just asking for it, MA should've called it the Tsunami.

That's strange, looks like it's in a truck bed & caught fire right there, note the burnt floor. Maybe someone tossed a ciggy near fuel? Eh, it's all speculation.

Maybe like from a shorted out batt pack or wireing.

Had a little plank catch on fire one time when I was starting it.
That methanol burns kind of invisible till you see plastic start melting.

In one of the photos Augusto is pointing to the clutch bell that might have started the fire.

Well I guess it's a good thing it wasn't his other fury with the canopy he borrowed from sdheli.

I don't think I'd mind seeing the flag canopy get trashed. No offense Adam.

Holy moly!

Yep I bet it was the clutch that caused the fire. I came real close to the same thing when I crashed my Fury a while back.

Those clutches can really get hot in a post crash burn out.

G'day Kyle, sorry I haven't emailed you lately. You going to the Shepparton FF? I am & hope to see you there.

Looks like a frame from a vid, maybe Mark will post it sometime.

Did it crash into the tray of the golf buggy or what? Maybe they just tossed it onboard not knowing the clutch was hot as hell & about to ignite the fuel.

I found a bigger one by accident;

Here they are;





Hey Augusto, is this Hyperhead up for grabs? Tell that to those who've been begging for one.
