Nicely Done! If it's going to go, It might as well go Big!

Where's the wing?

The whole wing is in the picture!

It exploded, most of the foam pulverized. What you see is all that was left: Skins & Monokote

Wow! that had to hit extremely hard. Truly a Ballistic crash. I know it sounds morbid, but it would have been nice to catch that one on video.

So whats on the horizon to replace it?

Due to the emotional distress that this crash caused, added to the suggestion of my colleagues at the field, I am discussing with wife the acquisition of a new DB, an Arrow and an Atlas.

Regarding the video, I suppose it could be re-created, but not sure I would do it on purpose.

Yes, I completely understand the justification process of a three to one scenario to replace the one we lost. A great strategy, I might add.

An understanding wife is definitely a necessity, May she be extra caring, nurturing and understanding as you put your true feelings out there.

Yeah---you know that when a perfectly designed and constructed airplane crashes, every part should break........

I nosed a plane in years ago with a resounding impact and asked if that was a 10 on the crash scale. I was told it wasn't close enough visually to warrant a 10. Tough crowd.....

Is this one a 10? I can add that both tips of the stab broke off and the vertical fin was cracked all the way. Plus I get extra credit for vaporizing the wing.

Yeah, I agree, 9.5 tops. We'll give a position in top 5 best crashes of the year though. Haha
