This is my newly built Laser Arrow. First flight I was alone, and as I got the engine running nicely I thought I was ready for first flight. My mind was cleared for precautions and preflight totally forgotten..... This is a fast plane,and with large throws on ailrons everything happens very fast,especially when the left right is inverted.......See result in next message.

......I was lucky that the speed hadn't picked up yet. 10metres up in the air,goes inverted and straight into the snow.....Damage not to bad,but this shall not happen!! I use to be very careful checking everything,but taking the moment to check the direction on this one was forgotten.....

I bet you never...ever...ever...ever forget to check again.

.....er....remind us what you do for a living?!

....hmmmm at the moment I study for master in aerodynamics,but I have my background as F16 mech.

Hehe....Seems to be the episode from december....... I have worked on that plane (before the hard landing).It has arrived Norway in an Antonov 124 now,ready for major structure repair. Where did you get that photo? I have been looking for good ones myself,and this one was very good I think.

Sorry to hear about your Arrow, I see to many flyers turn on thier planes and work the controls back and forth and up and down to see if they work, not realy looking witch way they are moving. Sometimes thier reversed. I have a new Arrow with a Webra speed 50 ready waiting for warm weather. I know I`m going to check the controls first

ANY landing that you can walk away from is a good landing!
