The repairs were made within a couple of hours, but he broke one of the contra prop blades so that set us back a couple of days of pratice. Joseph moved to his backup plane for continued practice. I made some cosmetic paint touch-ups the Saturday before we departed. You can see the before and after pictures. It was then time to pack-up and head out. We want to thank Thunder Power for sponsoring the U.S. team with batteries. They shipped Joseph's batteries along with Jason and Andrews, to South Africa. Joseph was comfortable flying the JR 11x radio so that is what we stayed with for the event.
