Default Snoopy saves himself, loses airplane

Snoopy was barely able to survive the horrendous crash he suffered after losing all electrical power to the receiver immediately after takeoff. Post crash investigation surmises that some ham-fisted mechanic, who shall remain nameless, inadvertantly loosened the connector between the battery and the switch while perfoming other routine maintenance. The mechanic has apologized profusely to Snoopy and promised that he will check all of Snoopy's other aircraft for similar failure points and be certain to properly secure all electrical connectors in the future. Snoopy, being the benevolent canine that he is, accepted the apology and will continue to fly with his buddy Woodstock in the Giles G-202, seen in the next post, until his new 1/3 scale Laser 200 is complete.
