a not so local hobby shop to pick up a new Focus 2 for
OFB.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

watch as OFB and the guy haggle about the airframe and watch as OFB loads
the Focus into his truck. We head into the LHS and do our shopping picking
up a few pieces we can use and some we think we can, only never to be seen
again once they hit the work bench. I swear there’s a spot in my
shop<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> On the drive back I ask him how much he paid
for the airplane and he tells me, I about fall out of the truck! 2k for a
Focus with a YS1.40FZ and exhaust, no
servos!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">with Hyde mount for 1/3 of what OFB paid so I jump
at it. The next weekend OFB and Pattern King make a short ride to pick up
the airplane. Pattern King decides to order a new YS1.60dz for the focus
along with a new header and pipe.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> Fast forward two weeks. Both airplanes
are on the flight line ready to enjoy a long day of blessing the sky with
our Pattern Prowess. I test fly OBF’s new airplane and everything is fine
and I hand him the controls. OFB seems to be getting along fine with this
new airplane as it’s not as fast as his old one. The 1.40FZ seems to pull
well.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> I get my new creation out and have a time
getting the new 1.60 to run but finally get it purring like a kitten and off
we go. I can tell the big difference between the two engines as mine has
much more power and carves better through the sequence but I have to use a
lot more rudder than I’m used too. Must be the torque of the
engine.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> OFB and Pattern king spend the next few weeks
flying and having a ball. Pattern King and the new 1.60 are getting along
well. Then it happens, the 1.60 decides to quit way out and low.
“&#%&^$%!*$* hope I can make it back to the field there OFB, “You’ll
be fine there Pattern King”. About that time Pattern King runs out of air
speed, altitude and options all at the same time. As the Focus lands just
short of the run way the right carbon gear decides to break and fly off the
airframe. “Well the airplane is ok but you really need to learn to land on
the runway there PK”.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> The flight proceeds normally and I turn away
from OFB to the end of the run way to pick his up as he’s making his
approach to land. All of I sudden I see the airplane dip and start doing the
most perfect wing tip to nose to wing tip to tail landing I’ve ever
seen. I mean parts are flying in every direction! I’ve not seen a cloud of
balsa, plywood, monokote and such that big in
years!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

disoriented and lost it” Without thinking I asked “HEY can I have the
landing gear?” <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

with a 9303 transmitter around the field trying to do bodily harm. Man I
didn’t know a 73 year old man could run that fast!
