1/4 pup took 1yr to build only took 45 min to disasemble.

Status: offline 		My co-pilot crashed his racer on takeoff Sunday.

Rolled left and kept rolling 'til she nosed-down into the pines.

I simply looked at him (in front of a small crowd of family spectators) and said

"That would be the OPPOSITE of up."

Status: online 		All model airplanes have expiration dates, we just don't know when they are. I've been flying a year and a half and was flying my SIG Kadet MkII (.46) one day. There were about 5 planes in the air, one of which was a really nice 1/4 scale Cub in military markings and a G-38 turning an 18 in prop. We were going in opposite directions about 125 ft. up. I thought I was further out than he was and so did he, due to the difference in size of our planes, but he centerpunched me perfectly just behind my firewall. Man, but I wish someone had video of it! My plane disintegrated, with the only 'chunks" being the engine section and the rear fuse and tail feathers. The amazing thing was watching the other guy try to get his plane home. He had very limited control, but managed to turn it 180 degrees and pancake it at the end of the runway, whereupon the right wing fell off as soon as it touched ground. His had severe damage, but is repairable, where I said a sad farewell to the fist plane I'd ever built or flown. I think I felt worse about his plane than about my own, but he kept saying it was nobody's fault. We now kid each other when at the field, saying things like " I changed to the same freq. as you so we can't fly at the same time". After he "landed", we went looking for what was left of mine. Found the tail and part of one wing tip in the field, but nothing else except scattered shreds of balsa over an area of about an acre. Someone found the front section about 2 weeks later; had the engine, Rx. battery, and fuel tank (1/2 full) still in it, the prop wasn't even broken! This was back in July, never found the Rx or any of the servos, what's left of them is probably in a bale of hay or a cow's belly.

As far as what you say--"it's not even paid for yet" "I wish I could do that again so I could see what I did wrong" "What's the number of (enter hobby shop of choice) so I can order another one" "That looked pretty scale didn't it?" "Can somebody call the NTSB for me?"
"The trees look farther away than that" "That was one more touch-and -go than I should have done on that tank" "I guess the expiration date on that plane was--today"

Status: offline 		A friend of mine told me several years ago that every plane has a date written in the tail section somewhere when it will crash, only problem is that it's written in invisable ink!
