<DIV>Too bad it was the Brio with the Atwood scheme . . . . .
. you could come up with a new plane in the Andrew Jesky scheme
pretty easily (for a price). :)</DIV>

<DIV>My KM Star went in on landing approach a couple of years
ago and I still don't know why . . . the radio system worked when
everything was plugged back together. I am flying other stuff with
the receiver and servos, I tossed the battery and switch. You may never
know why it went in. Too bad there is no "CSI" video to watch after the
fact.<BR> </DIV>Bob Kane<BR>getterflash@yahoo.com

out of the connector into the Rx. Ugly...<BR><BR>-M<BR><BR><BR>On

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!
