Serge--you forgot one--PILOT STUPIDITY--not error--happened to me today. Great Planes Pitts is history--yes friends, gather around for a moment of morning. Then PLEASE KICK THE PILOT IN THE BUTT!!!! I had this plane built by my buddy/builder who did a great job. I was continually taking stuff to his house--HEY--HALF OF ALL MY RC STUFF IS AT HIS HOUSE! Anywas, I lost battery power today on my second flight. Upon further examination the battery was low. It was always stuffed in the back for CG purposes and I never noticed. When I upwrapped it, I discovered it was a 6V Pack--I always thought it was a 4.8 and had been flying all Summer/Fall with a half charged pack. How do you spell STUPID---????
Hey AeroBob--suddenly the GP Patty Wagstaff IS my favorite plane
AJF,
I am terribly sorry for the loss man... ****tttt...Sometimes its just these little stupid detail who put a plane into scrap. I have the G"P wagstaff and its a wonderfull plane. I just wait for my Taurus 52 to come in. Hang On AJF and good luck!
