Default Seagul PC9 Maiden

Well......... Bought myself a PC9 as a second plane.... waited a week for a good flying day (our club flies all week) had a gold wing instructor check it out then up she went (with an ASP 40 in the nose) 20 meter run then vertical climb easily pulling the model skywards.... My instructor took it to a descent level then handed me the transmitter. Flew a couple of circuits then needed to go get my hat (good sunny day) handed the TX back to him, and ran for my hat... just about to put my hand on the hat when i heard *FLUTTER* *THUMP* then dead quiet.....

At least i got to fly it ONCE !

This was my second aircraft too!! She flew well but a few too many accidents made it pretty heavy after a while.

Sorry for your loss!! By the way the twist flys great, a friend of mine has one works great!!
