Hey All,<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
Amazing the sound these planes make when they crunch. Complete carnage in a newly plowed cornfield.<BR>
<BR>
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!!)<BR>
<BR>
If so, please contact me off list! Atwoodm@paragon-inc.com<BR>

Thanks!<BR>
