This is not what you want to do with a GREAT flying Yellow F-16[:@]

Sorry to see that. What happened?

Glitch or elevator surface failure. who knows? It was hauling down the middle of the runway 5 feet off the deck then BOOM, straight down!! Who knows. I like my 10X i got in the mail today though!

Give it to Johnny, he can have it ready to fly in 8 days!!

I wish i could!!! Far too many pieces. At least it wasn't my turbine bird! It was my waiver flight bird! Oh well[8D]

at least it crashed near a dumpster and most of the parts landed in that box and bag

You got it!! Easy clean up, more room in my car and garage now

AFterburner1,
Sent you a pm.

Hi Doug,

When did it happen? You forgot to call me for being your spotter. At least I can witness it first hand. Well, your destiny is a real Turbine Jet. By the way maybe we can get a discount for fixing your F-16 and painting my Cyclone, if you can find a pro-builder for us.

Mike

Sunday morning. I'll have a builder # for you this weekend..

Here is my new rig and radio.

I hope you got sign off before the accident.

That Hurts

Hey hope you got your waiver before this thing went FUBAR.

Ian

Yes I got the waiver sign off before the 16 went to JET HEAVEN.

If anyone is interested? I have 2 OS .91 VRDF engines, JMP tuned pipe, Ramtec Fan with a BVM inflight mixture for sale. The motors run great! I'll let the lot go for $300 + shipping. I don't need them anymore. Turbine only from now on.

Where were you flying ? What channel? Dual conversion or single conversion? Details, Details, s--- don't just happen

El Toro, channel 17 PCM JR radio with a JR 770 7ch PCM reciever. It was haulin Butt straight and level down the middle of the runway and then BOOM!!!!!!!!! It was like I pushed FULL down ELE.. Noooooooooooooooooooooo Good!!!!![:@]

Should not have been a glitch. Most likely the servo failed hard over? Is there enough left of the elevator servo to find out? Having said that it should not have been a glitch, years ago, I had one of the early Futaba 8UAPs go hard over on everything while flying (luckily not a jet) with a PCM receiver with fail safes set to straight & level. Never found out what it was. Most likely an internal receiver fault. I should have learned right then & there to dump Futaba, but I'm dense. It took me several more wrecked airplanes and several 9ZAP WCII failures to wake up!

I hear ya!!! I got my brand new JR 10X two days ago. Saweeet TX..

Rocketman, email me the CG on the tango please, I'm ready to fly on Saturday (weather permitting).
