Default RE: AeroPro G Shark

Years and years ago when I first heard of a G-SHARK it had a bad reputation..everyone called them a g-snap. They would drop a wing like a rock if slowed down a hair to much on landing...But the best g-shark story I ever saw was one time A guy was flying at about 300 feet, we heard a loud BOOM, and the entire motor and cowl pulled off of the plane and slowly seperated like stage of a rocket in the nasa movies. well the motor and cowl started feeling the gravity pretty fast ,and fell with a nasty thump..and sickly bounce ....the airplane now obscenely tail heavy and in a long tail low mush came in like a funky parachute..it slammed down but only bent the gear and broke an elevator ..it was one of the wildest crashes I ever viewed.
