Default Death of the Fun51

I took her up and was spinning straight down to the ground. At about 50' I throttle up, the engine dies, and I just didn't have enough whatever to bring it out of the spin. All in all it was a pretty cool looking crash and there were 20-30 people there to witness it. Hmmm, what should I build next?

Did I mention the crash was caught on tape?

LMFAO!! nice photo edit baitshack!! When did you start flying in the iraq no fly zone? did they get you with a sidewinder or scud? sorry for the loss.. I had to do a gear up landing with my world models dago red mustang a few weeks ago when my engine flamed out on a low and slow photo pass. had to put her down right quick in some grass before she tip stalled. fortunately all I did was grind down the glow plug and force feed some dirt into the carb.

Default CRASH

I like how it looks exactly in the air as it does on the ground engine facing backwards, monocote torn off, tail section broken ect.
