I saw a couple of posts commenting on the mid-air between me, Keith Black, and David Cotton at the Nederland, Texas contest last weekend. I thought I'd share pictures of what occurs when two pattern planes have a head to head competition. [sm=eek.gif].

Unfortunately I only have pictures of my plane, however Dave's looked at least as bad. In fact, due to all the thick brush and trees I don' think they found as much of Dave’s plane.

Notice in the third picture you can see a piece of Dave's plane imbedded in the bottom of my wing.

The fourth picture shows my engine with a broken crankshaft and foam in the front fins. Dave's crankshaft was also broken.
