Apache Tail Rotor Failure Video

Kyle Sarnik (Big Dawg KS) has sent us another video of his Apache. The video clip shows how direct RPG hits (and other weapons) to the tail rotor can effectivly cause a tail rotor failure. Hits to the other parts of the chopper are less likely to cause engine or tail rotor failure (unless you hit the engine). Most tail rotor failure landings are survivable, and is a nice alternative to wreck models. The tail rotor failures are very similar to Black Hawk Down (the movie). Note: To view video, right click on link and hit “Save Link As”, point to where you want to save it and then launch it.
