A friend of mine built me a sport jet kinda looked like a bandit.Had a OS 46-Turbax-spring airs. Weight was 8 pounds RTF. well to say the least it flew very well was very fast for a 45 sized jet tracted like a pattern plane.Well we got about 10 flights on it and the showoff that i am was doing a low pass about 2 inches off the deck hit a little mound of dirt and completely destoryed it.
Just wanted to tell ya Brian SORRY. so go ahead and post some pictures of before and after!!
