Devils Triangle in my field?
Had a bunch of great flights yesterday with my Estarter! Crashed 3 times though
Seems each time I crashed, in hindsight, was over the same spot in the field. I also noticed (in hindsight again) that whenever I flew over that site the plane did a little
"twitch" and then flew on.
What happens is that the ailerons go full right, rudder full left and elevator full up and I lose the motor. Needless to say, the crashes have been quite spectacular and the rebuilds have been, shall I say, heroic. I know the answer is to stay away from that part of the field but have any of you guys had this happen to you? Is it something wrong within the plane?
What a helpless feeling, watching your plane plummet to the earth, while you are struggling with the radio, no control, humming a little Bowie.........ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead there's something wrong, can you hear me Major Tom......
Thanks in advance!!
