Default RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!

Had a very bad day today, My lovely Sukhoi meet teraferma in a bad way.

To make a long story short, that BME 50 that I had been tweaking with for some time decided to die while in a 75 foot hover. Buy the time I got the nose down and tried to pull up the ground came around. I could not believe what had happened. This awesome flying model was no more.

After checking the damage I realized that virtually everthing had survived. All the electonics, the wings and stabes. Even the wing tube was still very straight. This was probaly because of the site I was flying at. A polo field with very soft and dense grass.

I felt at fault of with this wreakage because once I realized how well this plane flew, I should have stop playing with this finicky engine and saved up for that TOC 53cc or the DL 50.
