[NSRCA-discussion] Bad day at the field...looking for a good plane

[Jay Marshall]

I sympathize. My Evolution went in on the second flight. I hadn't even flown
it; a more experienced pilot was checking it out for me. Went into a lake
where the engine still rests. I did salvage the FASST radio and the digital
servos - that part floated.

 

Looks like the battery connection was bad. Never again will I fly w/o safety
clips on all of the servo extensions and battery.

Mark,

 

Sorry to hear about your loss of the Brio.

It always seems twice as bad when it happens to a new

plane and you cannot put your finger on what caused the 

problem.

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
