Well, 2 weeks ago in lower MI I was playing in some fresh snow and smacked a tree stump pretty good. Flew off the sled and bent the handle bars, ripped the pan protector off and crushed the heat exchanger. Not sure what else is messed up but I guess I will start to take it apart. Hopefully I do not find too much damage. Anybody have ant experience with this or suggestions on what I need to look for?

Sled is a 2010 Nytro RTX SE 121 with 1400mi.

Thanks!

I knew you were in MI before I read the post. I myself hit a stump 2 weeks ago in the northwestern lower and it through me off the sled. The roest plate is no joke. All I did was wipe the bark off the plate and off I went. Had I not had the plate it would have taken out the oil filter and exchanger for sure. My buddy behind me say me hit it and thought for sure I totaled the sled, he asked if he can get that plate for his rev.

Nothing like doing 480kts low enough to read license plates of cars on the autobahn!

Roest, I don't think this is in any flight manual I have ever seen.......

Sorta like a friend of mine who crashed his plane in the back yard of a church just before a wedding he was attending. Fortunately not hurt, but when Transport Canada investigated the crash and swamped him in rheems of paper work, the final question they asked him was "How can this accident be avoided in the future?" Definiantly he answered "Don't fix the plane!"

fstr-thanu, get a Roest skidpad. Its bulletproof and won't let you down.
