Default RE: FIRST TIME WHIPLASH OWNERS READ

I put mine in few days ago on the 8th flight. Launched great moving quick, radio lock out and smack into the runway. The pipe and carb were found 150ft from the airplane and the engine was never recovered. One witness said it bounced hard off the the black top and considereing the carb on my jett 50 was split in half, I can't imagine if I were to find the engine what condition it would be in. I will be building new fins, and engine mount then flying it again.
