Hi all,
Unfortunately, i crashed my beloved Falcon 120 ([link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG45GvhwgLU]Here[/link]) on Friday due to a dumb thumb...
The falcon went in, straight down... the nose absorbed most of the impact but the airframe was totaled.
catch some flames and everything started burning.

when i done some damage estimation and control, it seems the turbine wasnt damaged too badly so i decided to take it apart (as i did before) and clean everything up, replacing the burnt wires and making sure everything is in good working condition.

I want to use this forum in order to thank one of leading persons in the JET scene in Israel, the guy spent almost his entire Saturday at my workshop disassembling and reassembling the turbine.
when we encountered some problems, the guy wasnt lazy and went back home in order to bring some materials and equipment to make sure everything is working.
i dont know too many people that will agree to help a fellow modeler and a friend like he did.
we even manage to film a nice tutorial on the disassembly and reassembly of the RAM500.

Lior Zahavi (I3DM), Thank you very much for your time and effort.
i would like to thank you in the name of the entire group for your help.
on a personal note, i would like to thank you for supporting and helping me when i need it, it is important not to take one's help for granted, especially not one like you.
My dear friend, Thanks.

Ravivos.

Raviv, Sorry to hear of your crash. Unfortunately it does happen sometimes. You may consider posting your Ram 500 tutorial on youtube and post the link here.

Will do, just need to edit it a bit... taking out the "ummmm... this part goes where..? ..."

This is not new!When Lior wants to help he does it from his heart,And Always in the best and professional way!
Ravivos sorry for your loss...I liked how you flying it.

Looking forward to the postings. If you liked the Falcon you should look into the Shok Jet or a DV8R next!! I have a Falcon 120 NIB that I have not opened because of the ShokJet!!! ha.

I just did some TLC mantinace to my Falcon 120. It has well over 250 flights on her. The wing tube on the right wing came loose from the ribs after the last flight. I discovered it carrying it in the house when the right wing panel was flexing up and down about 1/2 inch.

I just finished here up and she is ready for the next 250 flights. Its just a fun jet to relax with.

Joe, That Falcon was my first jet purchase and then the Shok came along!!! ha. I flew my waiver with a pals Falcon 120. I'm glad you caught your fix before going to the field again with it. Have you thought any about coming down to the Wilson Fly-in???

Shake off the dust get another falcon and get right back in it. Nice flying by the way. Sorry for your loss George

Ravivos,

Thank you so much for the kind words. it was truly my pleasure to assist.

Just a dumb question, why did you land in the opposite direction to take off?

I was filming the video - the wind has changed direction.
