Your plane is not a war bird but it certainly deserves a kill mark

Status: offline 		stlpilot, is that a seagulls model 300s you're holding? looks like it to me. what engine do you have in it and how does it perform. do you think an O.S. 61 FX will pull it around nicely.(little 3d, mostly puttering around)?

nice pic!!!! that is funny.

Status: offline 		I had a similar accident four or five weeks ago with my big Edge. I was about to pull into a harrier when a tiny Goldberg Extreme 330 went right through my prop. My prop hit one of his servos and broke, shaking the front of the plane to pieces. To make a long story short, he flattened out and landed in the grass and I was able to land deadstick with a very badly damaged airplane. His profile had a few holes in the wing, a damaged servo, and part of the tail was missing. My plane did not look that bad on the outside, but when I took the wings off and removed the canopy and cowl, the damage was: a dented fin on the engine, badly torn up cowl, engine pushed through the engine box and firewall, the tank tray broke, and mostly everything from the turtledeck foward had splintered up, and the wheel pants were cracked. Not too bad for the first day that particular plane came out to the field for test flights, huh? It was only its third flight with me. Now it is all fixed and flies again. I stil kind of feel sorry for the profile though.

P.s. In three weeks it has been through one midair, and a deadstick that ended up out in the field that damaged the wheel pants. Talk about bad luck.
