well.... today was eventfull, was flying a friends Epicure II pattern plane. Was a sweet bird... doing all the normal stuff.. having a blast. so i found that you could do perfect squares (box`s ) in the air was neat as hell!.. up...over..down.... i was just about to try them outside (like an outside loop) instead of inside. .. then IT happened.... left wing broke off in the middle in mid air!....and i was waaay up there!.. i tried all i could do... but as we all know .....it was futile.....it augered in like a yard dart..

i dont fly much pattern,,,, but i guess you cant do them box manuevers at full throttle.....a sad ending.. it rained a few days before pretty hard so ground was wet....took us 10 minutes of digging to get motor out!... pulling on header pipe. was like yanking on an oak tree root. was not budging. had to use wing tube that was there to dig it out.
