Had an 80" cap arf I worked on of and on all winter.
2 hrs from being ready I needed some cash for another plane of course.
Sold it ARTF real cheap to a friend who finished the "minor" stuff and was taking it to the field when he discovered the fuse wouldn't fit in his Cherokee with the family.
He tied it to the roof and guess what
......Of course, the ropes let go and broke the fuse in two when it hit the road.
Now he fixes it and takes it to the field a week or so later, this time in a trailer he bought. Good idea
Got it out, put it together double checking everything and now it won't start
A few days later after fixing a broken ignition connection (probably from the road rash) he gets it up :sunsmiley , makes a few roundy rounds and a flame out!
Trying to get to the runway he banks it steep and applies way to much elevator, it snaps out and plows it in real hard.
Didn't see it. As a matter of fact I only saw it the day it wouldn't start but I guess it is history. A 4 piece fuse now......
Just a plane not meant to fly I guess........
