Default How about a CRASH! forum?

It's the reason we love R/C! The rush we get from that potential crash. There are so many factors fighting agains us keeping those balsa toothpicks in the air. First and formost GRAVITY! Have one little problem and gravity kicks in. All you want is some kind of proof that it was a problem with your plane and not your own thumbs! All you have is the video that one of the club members took while you cartwheeled down the runway. This is my Cessna 182 doing just that.

Yep! was beautiful last few days, even drove the race car around town, hehe

Above is what happens when a tree reaches out and takes the wing off your plane at full throttle 150'+ off the ground!!! OUCH

Default DOH!!!!!!

Gotta hate that!! Well,I was told this when I got into the hobby."Every plane has an expiration date.We don't know when it is. Just hope yours has a long number!" Isn't that the truth? You have all the right facial expressions of a crash sequenced right here! HeHeHe!!

We Need a crash forum.
Not only are they good clean American entertainment, they are educational as well. I've yet to see a crash that I couldn't learn something from.

MAKE A CRASH FORUM!

Default Crash!

I really do enjoy this site more than any other R/C site out there. You guys really are in a league of your own. All of the others have too many problems.(too slow,too many pop-ups, etc...) The only thing that they DO have are crash forums. This is actually a very important and educational part of the hobby. I've seen,on several occasions, where a few pilots had identical crashes with identical planes. Come to find out there was a fatal flaw from the kit manufacturer. These kits may still be sold today, with the same flaw, if it were not for these forums. I do believe that this should be an independent forum,not just stuffed in here and there. Please take this into consideration. There seems to be plenty of other members how have the same feelings that I do. As I said before,this is the premier R/C site. You guys are the best! I'm just trying to help make it better.
Thanks again,
Jarrod Samford

you talked me into it....it's up there now...if it gets a good amount of posts we'll leave it up on the homepage and if not I'll make it a subforum so there is still easy access to it.
