Isn't that a wonderful feeling? Then you have to try find out what happened. Can't locate any problems! receiver/transmitter work just nifty on the bench! Do you "test" the transmitter again on a different plane? No, guess i'll send it in and have it checked. ..no problems found ... fly it again .... oh crap, there goes another plane bit the dust!!!!! send it in again ....no problems found!!! end up with an expensive shelf piece! been there .... done that! what a wonderful hobby sometimes!!!!

Status: offline 		Here ya go,my friend and I went to the field one day and I had an old Greatplanes Sportster Bipe. After getting it all ready to go I took off from the grassy field and made a couple of circles and just then I noticed that the plane seemed to have a mind of it's own when my friend said "What is it doing " I replied" It's slowly turning into junk". whne suddenly it went into the ground like alawn dart. When I turned around my friend looked at me and said "Ii'll get the bucket". There you have it's slowly turning into junk.

The second flight I experienced an uncommanded slow roll I could not correct. It went in fast and up side down. I said Oh no! Oh no Oh S#$%. My daughter said lets go get it and proceded to walk to the crash site to help her dad pick up the pieces.

Status: offline 		Quick little story of a crash,
My landlord (brian) the same age as me asked me if I could teach him to fly, since he had a trainer his wife got him 8 years ago and was interested in flying it I told him no sweat, so we tuned the engine, I bought him a new radio and set it up with a trainer cord. Off we went to the field and fired it up, I taxied, took off, trimmed it out and told him "it's all yours" well he was doing fine and I only had to catch him 3-4 times, so I told him I'd let him try to recover on his own. Long story short, he got into trouble and started to correct and recover as he was banking, the next thing I know is bolth of us keep following the direction of the plane but it's not there, next we hear the bang( time delay) from it hitting the tree. Apparently were bolth a little fuzzy on depth perception as dusk and I let him bank into a tree. After a breif pause, he looks at me and starts to walk twards the plane now on the ground, I let him get 30 feet away and he looks back to see if I'm coming, that's when I said " Are you crazy? " he says "what?" , ...... "That tree just kicked your planes ass!, what do you think it's going to do to you when you get there?". The look on his face of trying to process all that happened in the last minute and to throw a joke on top was priceless. Yeah, my rent stayed the same and he got payback by mauling a prop on my boat a week later, so were even I guess.

Status: offline 		Your time will come, it may not be your fault completlly, but you know you just cursed yourself, by saying that. I have had a plane go in because it was late fall, why? tempature drop and a switch, keep your radio in a warm truck and then bring it out in 50 degree weather, what happens?, the copper strip in contracts in tempature drops, when it did this the carbon build up from the years of usage fouled the connection causing the radio to loose connection on the switch and turn off the radio in mid flight, so the dumbest little things can kill a plane in seconds. How did I find it, I simply looked down after the plane went in and it was off, I thought batteries were dead, so I went to turn it off and as soon as I touched the switch, the flash 5 came to life, let off the switch and it went dead. I packed it all up and put it in the truck, B.S.'d with the guys and went back to grab the radio and once warm it worked flawlessly, let it cool, back to intermittent connection. Never say never!

You do realize you just cursed yourself!!

I actually said "Thats not supposed to happen" once, but fortunately I saved the plane so I guess it dont count.. (Pulled a hard turn from downwind to upwind going slow and she tip stalled, snapping the other way. I recovered bu it was hairy..

Status: offline 		This video is about 40 seconds long. My wife was operating the camera.
Things were going fine right up until I hit the power line.
Unfortunately the quality is quite poor, but at the end you can clearly hear the following sequence of sounds:
- a loud slapping sound as the impact with the power line shears the coroplast wing off the SPAD
- the un-balanced sputtering sound of the engine because one blade of the prop is gone. The sound continues as the fuselage falls from the power line to the ground.
- my wife saying Oh-Oh
- the pilot saying Back to the old drawing board.

I did repair the SPAD and I flew it quite a bit that whole summer.
