It is funny but the way you describe the situation I do not think any frame would have faired any better. Nothing is as good as the combination of a tame frame and an instructor that you like. If he wouldn't listen to you trying to warn and give instruction then I fear he is going to crash many more planes in quick succession. Ifeel sorry for the planes too, what did they do to deserve that fate?
oh yeah it sucks . that plane was probably built in the late 70's. the ENYAmotor was pretty old as well.the last plane i flew was my nexstar with the os 46.. its been about a year i think, im nervous about flying the one im about to buy (which i think is my old one that i sold ) .. my dad he just feels all motivated and crashes it and doesnt relize the money lost. he paid $50 for the plane 20 years, the ENYAmotor was free, and the radio gear / servos of mine that he used he didnt pay for. so its realy no loss to him .
it actually kinda makes me made,he frusterates the crap out of me. he's one of them guys who think they know it all. he wants a pitts biplane.. he has a article cut out for a pitts biplane for sale in a old tower hobbie's catolog.. because he has that cut out ,he thinks he knows everything about pitts biplanes! its funny.
he feels that because he is 48 and can do lots of other things, he dont need no flight simulator for a radio control airplane, nor having his 22 year old son telling him he needs practice...
for the past 2 days ive been "loling"over the conversations on the phone .. he talks about how he is going to clear out a room in the house for a hobby room (but yet he's too lazy to clear out a room for his 2 sons coming back home after 18 years LMFAO) he talks about how he is gonna bench run the motor , and how his work table will be organized, and how he will have pre flight checks, and radio testings and how professional the build of the plane will be ... Doesnt talk about how the plane will be too fast and how his reaction time will be too slow and lack of experience will come in to play and how $800 will splat rite in to the ground.. if not the ground a tree. or the house.. or a truck.. ha ha .. its funny , talking about professionalism.. here i am talking about the possibilities of him crashing the plane in to a house or trees,,, The whole property is surrounded by huge corn fields, i dont know why he's gotta try to fly so close to objects. at least theres no other innocent bystanders!!
this will be funny... im sure to have crash photos. after he splats a few planes in to the grounds he will then relize he needs to use a flight sim.
