RE: Modified Trainer Shots
Well, it's kind of embarressing but....
I was just doing some lazy touch n' go's and practicing my approaches. I wasn't wringing it out like I usually do, the irony eh? When I was at my 270 deg for my next go for a touch n' go, I peeked down at my radio to check my timer (bone-head move I know). I mis-judged the distance of the plane from me and to a stationary structure (so I thought), when the structure just reached out and sheered the right wing panel completely off which caused the plane to continue on a death spiral 'Top Gun' flat spin into the ground.
I have promised myself that I would repair the fuse and slap on a spare PT-40 wing I had built and give it to a guy who has been interested in RC for quite some time (after I test fly it of course). This repair will definately test my rebuilding and recovering skills. Right now I am repairing a Big Stik .40 which I tore up during a limbo contest in our latest fun-fly event.
