Had a weird one today
I was flying my Radian today. Everything was going great, i was landing the plane was out about 400 feet away about fifteen feet up over a very large grassy field. motor off a nice flat glide slowly loosing height. Bang the plane did a complete 360 flat spin and dropped. It looked like a wing hit a pole but nothing out there but grass. The left wing had a ding in it so it was weird. The canopy was maybe twenty feet away. Just couldn't figure it. I looked around for anything it could have hit but nothing. Took it back to the car and looked it over. Nothing gives. Decided to put it away. Pulled the wings off pulled the battery out. Tried to put the canopy back on but it wouldn't stick. Turned it over and saw one of the magnets was missing. Took the canopy and compared it to the dent in the wing. Perfect match. Way i figure it the magnet came off then the canopy blew off hitting the wing. Fortunately it did it at a low altitude. When i got home i found the missing magnet stuck to the one in the back of the canopy.
