Default RE: my first weed motor scratch built plane

I am real sorry to see that happen. I know the feeling all to well. You know after you get back home and sort out things...its could always be worse. Well in most cases. One time I was flying and a bunch of firetrucks went past the field and all of a sudden my palne dove strait down. It hit full bore in a soft sandy spot. I had to pull hard with both hands to get it out. The engine was buried 10 inches in the ground. The plane was shot(a 40 size) but the radio and the engine was ok. It was a Supertiger that lived to fly a lot more!!!!
