trainer and star picket fence post
my friend was flying his trainer at my property and it was his first time solo and the OS40 LA cut out for the third flight in a row , the first two times he was lucky and had nice landings but the third time he losts it behind some trees, the video footage we had on an old camera wasnt pretty, it had crashed into a star picket that went strait through the fusalage
[
]. heres some pics of it after crash and then after i fixed it for him, the best thing about the story is he gave me the plane
since i had fixed it and he had went out and bought a new plane.

RE: trainer and star picket fence post
He doesn't need a new plane, he needs a new engine. After it cut out once in flight, I wouldn't have flown it again until I was sure of it. Sorry for the loss.
