Default Did you see where my plane went...

Here's the end result when one decides to watch another plane while their Edge 540 is on a downhill vertical....

Why is it the more expensive the airplane the more people go out to look at the impact zone???

Hogflyer,

Love the editing on the fourth pic, very cool

I am sorry for your loss, but you can honestly say it was totalled correctly. You have smaller pieces than I did 2 weeks ago when I planted my Cap232

***Note to Board of Directors***

Our club needs a "Gator" for crash retrieval. Better get one with a lift bucket for those that "Landed" in the trees.

Dang Aliens have all the technology.

Looks like the week for large plane crashes....

Yours looks as bad as my 28%, but yours cost a bit more
it looks like.

Saturday at our field a large gas powered biplane went nose
in also.

You know, I've often wondered that too... nobody walks out to see the "carnage" of one of my electrics or 1/2A, usually one or two for a 40 or 60 size, but when a biggun goes in, evrybody goes out.... Maybe it has something to do with the number of pieces? [&:]

Sorry bout the crash, not sure but I think I recognize the pilot,helper. As for the crowd, come on now I don't see a nice neat pile in that big trash bag you installed so it would pop out right after the crash, and start sucking up the pieces. There's a lot there to pickup, and they figured ya needed help.

I think it has more to do with the size of the divot it makes in the grass.

Sorry about the lost plane. I responded to say THANK YOU for being honest about the cause. Many guys would blame it on something else. Dumb thumbs sometimes get called interference.

Mudsurfer1234,

I don't like to post pictures of innocent by-standers with out their permission. Since I have no clue as to who they are, nor thier permission to post their pictures on the net, I made a slight alteration to their faces.

Greyhound Man

You got it, River Ctiy Flyers meet, happened on Sunday around 2:00. Any clue who owned it, the kit or power? He was on the north side of the pits, right by the concession stand.

Sorry to hear about your plane going in. I remember you plane from Saturday, but couldn't stay very long. Also didn't have my camera there Sat. so I misses out on some good shots. Went back Sun. What did you think of the SU-54 performance? I heard that bird has over $10,000 invensted in it.

Just to clear things up, this was not my plane. I with I could afford one, but a bit beyond my budget for a while. I heard the pilot state he took his eyes off the plane and looked back in time to see it go in.

I think it was either larry or joe from KC I believe it was a H9 33% with an old 69cc motor. and mark always puts on a good show, I see it frequently as he is a fellow club member, he flie a comp arf yak 55 and yes he has near 10k invested in it. I'm thinking of pulling the moki out of my plane and getting a DA 50 for the oh-crap pullout power when i do something stupid but my plane is almost fixed just need some covering now.
