HiAli

Picked up on this one late. Maybe someone is jealous of your "cult" status! One thing is for sure, 99% of us wish we had the flying skills that you have! I remember clearly your display with your L39 at the WJM here in South Africa in 2003, awesome, and you had no problem mixing and talking to us "mere mortals". You do not need to look far to see what you mean to most of us and see the smiling/laughing people(notafter the crash ofcourse!)around you. Iam not too sure if this is the case elswhere. You are invited allover the world to entertain and SHARE your knowledgewith others and thereforeholding you in HIGHRESPECT for your knowledge and talents! Please don't let this get you down. You posted this as information forus all to share and learn, and all you got was a kick in the n*ts and I know it hurts.Even if you use the best of everything, there is a lemon in there somewhere waiting to catch you out!

We are behind here in Africa but still try and learn using forums like this. I have built 6 Eurosports in all different configurations from single battery/Rx to dual everything and theyare all still going. I lost my first turbine jet due to a "noisy" ECU! Dual everthing would have meant squat! My little Roo has over 600 flights on it with single everything -KISS?

All my new jets have dual battery/Emcotec stuff in it as hopefully buys a little bit of reliability/redundancy. Hada friend crash his dual everything due to a faulty charger, yes many possibilites and we need to take them into account. We are all concerned about safety and would hateanyone to get hurt.

All of us know that there was no ways you would pull one of our "Up elevator" stunts. If there was any way you could have saved it, it would be back in the workshop charging for the next flight!

BTW - The colour scheme is awesome!
