Well, my -20 flamed out on me in flight today, first time in about 42 flights. It was running really well up until then, was even easy to start and had great throttle response, but I think I iced up the carb. Someone at the club that has 40+ years flying experience flying (RC and full scale from 152's to F-4 and 767) said it was perfect conditions for it. It was like 40F and was very foggy earlier, but with the melting snow it was still like a mist over the field. Oh well, I aimed for a snow bank and put it down fast. Any further and it would have been in the woods/river, but I did not have enough altitude to do anything else. No biggle, just 2 new nylon l/g screws and a new Vess 17-6 was the only damage.
