Default Capiche 50

Hi Phil,
going back to your crash at sandown i could have sworn i saw your model just start into a negative snap roll just before the wing came off and the spinning fuselage flew down the racecourse. Whether this was just part of the process of the wing coming off- i don't know(expect that i am probably wrong), but the failure would seem more plausible if you had gone into a knife edge snaproll at full power. Am i right? I know your feeling about not caring much about crashes- if my funtana to be goes in i will probably cry or hurl my FF9 across the field, but with my other models i just start laughing.You are right- i shouldn't think about it. You sort of become desensitised to sport model crashes when your used to it! Has anyone thought of making a double size TOC style Capiche with 120" wing span? That would be cool!
