<br>
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.<br>
<br>
As such, I won¢t be attending next weekend :(:( I¢ll be busy painting and covering.<br>
<br>
There¢s an outside chance I may still go to the shootout and share an airplane with Bill Pritchett...we¢ll see.<br>
<br>

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.</span></font></font>
