Default RE: Aerobird - New Web Site

aeajr,

I did take many photos of the modified control board and also many crash photos []

I would like to add them to my web site, but that takes time and I have so little........blah, blah, blah. I will add the shots soon.

The Aerobird (w/ GWS flight controls) was blown apart in such a way, like I have never seen before. Example: The 7 cell battery I was using was ejected out the BOTTOM of the plane through the plastic seam weld; spitting the plane in half. Actually, the battery itself was ripped apart down to the individual cell level with 5 of the cells hanging out of the bottom of the plane EACH by only their connection to the next one up in the chain. The nose was smashed in and the canopy was destroyed with cracks. Both sides of the foam tail were stripped off the body hanging by their fishing line control "rods".

I pulled my flight pack, the original motor and the tail spar......everything else hit the can. [:@]

I will rebuild....I will fly, the Bird, again.
