Here is it's story[:'(] Sorry for the off topic


Well to hell with it!
took to the air no prob,3 clicks down 3 clicks L aileron
every thing was great ,a real light fly er wind was strong right across the runway
i was up high when i lost throttle 5 min into maiden,it was being pushed over the pits
from the wind,thought i was going to loose it into the pits,when it cleared the screen canopy
my thought was OK i got it back down, she hit the strip hard, Ohh yeaahh i saved it
that's when it went full throttle and started to climb away towards the bay waters that surround our field
at that split second i said to hell with it.

Either i am going to loose everything to the salt water or i will have a short walk to pick up the pieces.
That's when i pulled back on the right stick she looped out at 20 feet and planted on the far side of the runway.
fat chance i will try to repair,all the king horses & all the kings men could not put the katana back together again.
