A few weeks ago my friend and I took his tiger2 (Which hadn't been flown in a few years) to the field. After flying our trainers for a while we asked the instructor to take the tiger up cause we wanted to see how it flies. We got it tuned in on the bench and everything seemed ok. the instructor took it up and during the climb out the engine quit, No big deal he had done at least 4 deadsticks that day and this one was going very smooth. During the 180 degree final turn something went wrong with the radio causing a total loss of control and a 35 foot dive. good amount of damage to the front of the fuse. Not the instructors fault as we assured him that it had been properly range checked (we did it 2 days prior to flight). My buddy was not mad as the plane was given to him free, he decided all he wanted was the engine and radio and offered me the wreckage. After 4 weeks of work I finally have it flight ready. different radio and engine. and yes it will be range checked right before flight. the first pic is my buddy steve and the wreckage, the second was taken a few hours ago.
