It looks like left engine flame out...or shuting off?The right drag rudder was open at all runway.Fortunately he did not have anything serious damage!What a great model engineering!!!!

They never really discussed the issue, I know they checked the steering prior to the first flight, but I did not see them test it for the second flight. According to Air Sally, who has worked on the full scale B-2 for the last 30 years, believed that it may have been an engine failure. He also stated that on the full scale they always put the brakes on and run the engines up prior to take off.

On the second crash they were pressed for time and losing day light, that might be why they did not go through the normal pre-flight routine. I am sure they will get it sorted out. I hope they will bring it to Florida Jets.
