Default Well I was due....

Well today there must been some kind of curse at this field...We had two big airplanes go in today...Didnt get photos of the first one, but here is mine. Batteries started to give out for an unknown reason and I started loosing the ailerons first then the rudder then last was the elevator. I had it on final to land but I ran out of rudder to get it back on the runway and was heading towards the pits, so the last little bit of elevator I had I dump it so it wouldnt hit anyone.

Hate to see this Kevin, looks like you made a good move on dumping it when you did. How's the new field?

Agreed, good on you for dumping rather than saving the plane and expecting others to get out of the way.

I third that, you did the right thing. It looks like a few evenings in the shop to get that baby flying again.

You have my respect
