Nicely Done! If it's going to go, It might as well go Big!
Where's the wing? Paul |

Where's the wing? Paul It exploded, most of the foam pulverized. What you see is all that was left: Skins & Monokote |

Wow! that had to hit extremely hard. Truly a Ballistic crash. I know it sounds morbid, but it would have been nice to catch that one on video.
So whats on the horizon to replace it? Paul |
Due to the emotional distress that this crash caused, added to the suggestion of my colleagues at the field, I am discussing with wife the acquisition of a new DB, an Arrow and an Atlas.

Yes, I completely understand the justification process of a three to one scenario to replace the one we lost. A great strategy, I might add.
An understanding wife is definitely a necessity, May she be extra caring, nurturing and understanding as you put your true feelings out there. Paul |
Ouch. I am sorry to see that, but your replacement strategy seems sound :rolleyes:.

...I used to hear that a lot on the ski slopes. All in good fun, I hope.

That's a beautiful crash! The tail was overbuilt however,
|
LOL "Overbuilt"?
|
Yeah---you know that when a perfectly designed and constructed airplane crashes, every part should break........
|
I nosed a plane in years ago with a resounding impact and asked if that was a 10 on the crash scale. I was told it wasn't close enough visually to warrant a 10. Tough crowd.....
|
Is this one a 10? I can add that both tips of the stab broke off and the vertical fin was cracked all the way. Plus I get extra credit for vaporizing the wing.
|
9.5 - no recognizable remains is required for a 10... keep trying :-o
|
Yeah, I agree, 9.5 tops. We'll give a position in top 5 best crashes of the year though. Haha
