  Hey All,

  Had a bad day with a new Brio at the flying field.  9th or 10th total flight...just starting to get it trimmed out, first maneuver of F-07, downline snap, about to push to inverted...and nothing. :(  Not sure what happened...no interference.  Battery was checked prior to the flight, but had 0 voltage afterwards.  Haven't checked the system for a short yet...crash was brutal though, so hard to know what was cause, and what was result.

  Amazing the sound these planes make when they crunch.  Complete carnage in a newly plowed cornfield.

  Anyhow, now that I'm done drying my tears, I need a good backup plane.  Preferably something similar to the Brio, (Ideally another Brio).   Anyone have something that's built and ready for a 1.60DZ (that I'll need to rebuild too, since the crash torn the side off the crankcase!!)

  If so, please contact me off list!  Atwoodm at paragon-inc.com

  Thanks!

  Mark
