RE: European Championships
The semifinals came to an dramatic end. The last flight of the second round was again Stephan Carrier, now flying his B model. Sometime in the middle of the program the plane just continued at medium throttle straigth out of site. After a while the control partly returned for a while, the plane did some curves and then dived straigth into ground. Luckily nobody was hurt in the accident.
The same frequency was used by three other pilots and they did not have any problems. Stephan was using a different transmitter on his second flight so that was not the problem. He was using an short type antenna instead of the normal telescopic antenna which may or may not have something to do with it.
A real shame, the youngest pilot in the semifinals, beautiful flying and two magnificent ZN built models totally lost.
