Fortunately, this was not my bird. I did put the first flight on it last year for the pilot. Details can be found here: http://www.gparcs.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1150

That really sucks, I used to fuel the full scale ones at airshows. I kind of have an appreciation for them.

How did you get on the ground if the cockpit was still enclosed?
