Death by Cake
About two years ago I was headed out to the field to do some flying before our club metting when I realized the big Lazy bee I was taking had been built 9 years before. As a joke I got a birthday cake for the plane to share after the meeting. Now this LazyBee had been crashed a couple of times . riged to take photos and carry 8 bombs and drop them two at a time. One of my favorite manevure is a tail slide where you point it straght up chop power and let her slide backwards and flip over . I took off did some loops and rolls and a tailslide, just as I leveled out and hit the throtle the rudder started wagging like a puppy dogs tail. I cut power, nonthing. I gave it full up elevator negative function. off she went about 10 feet over the cedars and out of sight. I shut my raido off got out a can of deep woods off and to the sound of laughter set off in search. 400 yards in past the tree line in a clearing I found the wreck. The foam that wraped the battery was still in the nose with the broken rubber bands but the batery was in the tail unpluged of course. How it did'nt clime with all that weight in the tail I will never know . You know who got the blue max. And every one enjoyed the cake. I have ordered the covering and will start the rebuild soon

Yes I've ordered koverall black and lemon yellow super dope. This will be a good plane to learn this type covering on. I've also re desinged the bomb system and cover how to build that.
