Pat, have you dried out yet???

Pat bravely jumped into a deep pond to retreive my new F16 after the inner tailpipe blew out on takeoff. We thought both of the pipes were gone and shut the engine down and splashed into the pond. You Avonds' F16 owners out there, check the welds between the two pipes. Mine were not strong enough. Good news, however, all eletronics are still working after being sumerged for a few minutes and the plane only has minor fiberglass damage on the bottom.

Thanks again Pat.

later
