Default RE: JACK STAFFORD Models Aircoupe's

The Ercoupe took to the air today, the take-off was just fine and the plane was tracking well thru the 1st 2 turns and then out of nowhere it snapped hard right and nosed down into a corn field. I am still a bit perplexed as to what happened. The only thing for certain is the coupe was destroyed. Par for the couse on the way my year has gone so far. I have been way too hard on planes this year.
All of the gear will be pulled out of the plane and inspected for use in my next build.
Later!!
