Bad news on project Etron Easy I'm afraid. I was at the jet flying field on a very windy day attempting to get photos for my next article, foolishly I attempted a takeoff using full flap (by mistake, but still an error on my part) and she got a wing stall just after lift off and cartwheeled down the runway.... . the nose is broken off and smashed with damage to the elevators and wing also the frame is a write off. Turbine and electronics survived ok.

With incredible generosity Pirotti models have offered to help me replace the air frame to restart the project so hopefully we can see Etron Easy flying sometime after Jetpower.
