> Another Impact bites the dust. I took Thurs. and Fri. off to practice for
> our State Pattern contest. The second flight on Thurs. I got a flame out.
> Well trying to avoid straining the plane through a barbed wire fence, I ran
> out of air speed about 4 feet off the ground. The plane went in at a 45
> degree angle and as soon as the spinner touched the earth the tail wrapped
> around the fuse and broke off about 3in in front of the stab. The only other
> damage to the plane was a cracked chin cowl. The spinner and prop were not
> even nicked. This was one of the first Impacts to hit US soil, It came with
> no directions and no tail formers. On a side note, I dusted off the Focus,
> mounted my motor and electronics and got 3 trim flights in. Then flew to a
> first place in Advanced. I do have to say, for me the Focus flies much
> better then the Impact. I'm sad for the lost $$$ but somehow glad to be
> flying the Focus again.
