Missing fuselage headed south
[:-]This is what happens when you fail to clear a fence post by about one inch, hit dead center just below engine. fuselage assumed a 45 degree angle and with motor wide open disapeared over treeline.could hear motor for quite a while, looked like it was a in a very fast hover to the south when last seen.

RE: Missing fuselage headed south
Yeah i spent alot of time getting it smooth for the paint, but when i buy a kit i know that it might not make it thru the first flight. so i enjoy the build then fly it as long as i can. i allways rebuild if i can but theres just not enough left of this one.all i was able to recover was the landing gear and wheels.
