Lessons learned...
I should have ran the engines one at a time then I would have seen the RPM problem.

I should have just landed the plane on the first lap despite some one being on the runway even if it was into the grass.

On the final turn I think if I rolled to slight inverted like I did on the turn before that I could have gotten the nose down and avoided the departure from flight that killed it.

Last lesson. When Ali is standing next to you and something like this is going on just give him the sticks lol. I am very grateful he came to help me out hes one of the best guys in this hobby and a good friend.
Kris, very sorry about the Hornet. It looked amazing. It's a shame someone was on the runway as I'm sure you would have been able to save it. I hope you're able to jump back on the horse and build another kick ass project.
