RE: DETAILING AND FLYING DH-82a IN TIGER SCHEME
Hello,
Well my TM finally took flight at the Albuquerque Fiesta Balloon Park on 7/30/05. The first flight was perfect and everybody is commenting on how nice it look in the air... On the second flight, the plane suddenly veered to the right past vertical and impacted nose on from 50 feet. Control was regained a fraction of a second but there was not enough room for recovery. The plane was test flown by our club best pilot so pilot error was not the issue. The radio is my proven Multiplex Evo 9 with brand new reciever, battery (which was check pre and post flight to be normal). Everything was preflighted accordingly.... A sad ending to such a beautiful scale airplane!
