Default RE: No more Christen Eagle

Speed, It was the Christen Eagle 42 arf from tower hobbies. I was having problems with the glowplug ignitor, the hole in the cowl was off abit so getting it off was hard so that is why I had the cowl off. I would love to say thats what caused the crash but it's not. After I posted the message and pics I took a good look at it and pilot error was the cause, I forgot to put the screw in the servo horn so when I tried pulled up to loop out of the plane being inverted it was to much and popped the horn off the servo. My wife has video of the crash but I need to convert it since she took it with her iphone, it's pretty far away and all you can hear is me trimming it out and then the crash, live and learn I guess lol.
