The Green devil died..... Bummer.
Well after rebuilding this baby all winder I took it out. It had a .35 in it but I wanted more power so I put a .47 ABC in it. After about 4 safe flights I was coming in for a landing. The engine choked so I gave it full power started to climb, but then the right aliron came lose and the plane instantly did a roll to the right. I stoped the roll using the good aliron but unfortunatly it stoped while I was inverted and as you can see it went in pretty hard. We clocked this beast at 100MPH level flight, hehe oh well its my third crash in a row so now I guess I should find another hobby. Here are a few pics of the damage... Notice the spinner... That was a hard hit. The video clips are my first takeoffs (first time with a tail dragger). Sorry no crash vid..
