Columbus contest Hey all,

A rookie mistake has cost me my Brio :( :(   My Black Magic’s aren’t complete yet so I currently am without an airplane.   Shouldn’t be too long to get a BM in the air (a few weeks) especially without the distraction of flying...lol.

As such, I won’t be attending next weekend :(:(   I’ll be busy painting and covering.

There’s an outside chance I may still go to the shootout and share an airplane with Bill Pritchett...we’ll 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.
