[NSRCA-discussion] Bye Bye Genesis :(

[Dennis Bodary]

I think i would have used stuck in a hole. instead of whole. but hey that's just me. Sorry to hear about your loss. Wish i had a plane for you  to use but the Tojeiro needs a complete inspection loose covering etc. The Black Magic well it's not done yet. The good point i now know what to tell people when they say yeah but it's a dry heat. 114 Stinking degrees in Yucca Arizona. Good thing i stayed in a condo in Lake Havasu. That way when i got done working in Yucca it would get hotter on my drive in the dark to the condo. But it was easy work got some overtime. By the way what would i tell them it's unprintable.

          Well guys today was the last day that my Genesis will fly.  Was at the field trying to practice for next weekends competition, after going five weeks without practicing.  I went and set it out on the runway, and plugged in my arming switch.  There was about a 10 to 15 knot wind, not to bad, so I took off.  And just as I lifted off the rudder stuck itself into full left rudder and stayed there, so my bird became a twirling fortress 3 ft from the ground, I hit full power and was knife edging, trying to keep the airplane from snapping over, I believe I did about a 10 yard circle, and finally got it back to the runway where I was still on knife edge, but then the wind gusted pulled the wing up, and flipped it over 5 ft from the ground, and then.  LAWN DART !!!!.  Bye Bye Genesis.  I believe ya'll know the rest.  So now I'm trying to find another airplane to fly for next weeks competition, as you can see I procrastinated about getting another pattern plane just in case
 anything happened to this one.  So now I'm stuck in a whole.
