Yes, it was quite a fun watching it to burn into ashes just before taking off. For my own safety I just let it burn, part of the silhouette in grass is still there few years on. There was some incompability of 130A/ESC and motor during initial throttle advancement. Unfortunately I let someone to carry my TX while I carried model to the strip and he must have moved the TH stick just a fraction which initiated ESC melt down. As I was ready to take off, the smoke appeared and it took only few minutes to AMEN. I have done lot of flying with the model prior, being only a small prototype to find out the "C of G" for my identical but larger jet turbine powered project, "Golden Widdow". Cheers J.
