Well, my venture into WWI scale aviation has come to a screeching hault. My beautiful S.E.5a is no more - as you can see. On her maiden flight on the second turn around the field I watched helplessly as the elevator came off and she went straight into the ground from about 200 feet. I may be a long time before I purchase another plane built by someone else; but it sure was fun while it lasted. Just a shame to see this beautiful plane in this condition. []
