Hey all,
A rookie mistake has cost me my Brio :( :( My Black Magic¹s aren¹t
complete yet so I currently am without an airplane. Shouldn¹t be too long
to get a BM in the air (a few weeks) especially without the distraction of
flying...lol.
As such, I won¹t be attending next weekend :(:( I¹ll be busy painting and
covering.
There¹s an outside chance I may still go to the shootout and share an
airplane with Bill Pritchett...we¹ll see.
-Mark
PS...the Rookie mistake was changing Aileron servos at 3am and forgetting a
servo screw. Servo arm came off on the 3rd flight (surprised it lasted that
long) and the resulting flutter was too much drag on the wing even at low
throttle....just a slow spiral in. Fiberglass and deceleration trauma are
not pretty.
