Not a good day

Says it all realy:mad::mad::mad::mad:

SH one T that looks pretty awful Mark sorry to see that bud

I've already bagsied the wing joiner/tubes

It's always a shame to see a model in that sort of condition...

Andy

Mark I am really sorry to see this but the only silver lining is that I now feel alot better about having the last flight with Sams YAK

Nasty, Very nasty!! But, couple of tubes of super glue - sorted!!!
But, seriously, spill the beans and tell all - what happend?

WOW, what the hell happened, looks like it took a bump into something hard, did the nicely lasered bottom hatch survive, joking apart really sorry you do seem to get all the bad luck


Looks like you might as well send that jacket back to D.A. Dave now..!!!

Glad to see the wing covering was alright.

Come on tell us all

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

Mark, what can I say! If you are thinking of trying to repair it I have one sitting in the loft doing nothing if you want any parts.

Ha ha was thinking the very same thing mate, Mike to be honest all thats suvived is the canopy, tail, and the super laser cut hatch

Well time to fill you all in. was having a real good flight with it today just felt in the grove at times, went up for a blender as i know the plane dose it so well, for some reason i aded another hesitation roll before the "snap" into the flat spin resulting in me exiting a tad lower than normal but still at a safe hight (all so i though)

As i aplied the elevator the bugger flicked on me had one shot to save it and failed the bugger staled and droped its nose hitting the flar on its nose hard right on the fence so luckey really as nothing quite made the stream,

Im well and trulley gutted as i loved this plane and was really getting into the thought of IMAC to help improve my flying.

Its all on film as well which makes it worse lol, so you can all see for yourself soon

M

really really gutted for ya bud. twas a big one. even I wouldnt bother trying to fix it

Roy the covering was great, shame there was no wood left to hold it up

I think Andy put it best


"Mark your such a Co*k"

Geez, sorry to see that Mark - trust that at least the radio and engine survived - a little compensation I guess.

Not a bad engine there for the tug Andy

as far as i know gear is ok but to be honest im so gutted it just got thrown in the garage for another day

Hi Mark
Sorry to see the news of the bump on the forum.
You must be really pi..ed off about it.
Consolation ...I can do that without even trying.

Theres always tomorrow

Mark...as you push the boundaries you advance and accidents happen.Look at the early aviation pioneers.You do inspire

Only just got backl from the field and seen the photo . Ouch is all I can say.
Sorry to see a great aircraft in such a sorry state.

Sorry to see that Mark, I can empathise with you,
get back in the saddle bud.

A very sorry sight indeed, it's always sad to see someone loose a model but even more so when i'ts a large one.

What a shame, there was some really good smooth flying even the blender looked to be at a safe height, you must be gutted, find another airframe.

Thanks Rich, Its not often i see myself flying as im normaly behind the camera,

Im so trying to loose my reckless 3D Muppet reputation but even when i try smooth it gose tits up lol
