Passing of a good friend

[Flyrcjoe]

Just finished charging one battery took 2960 mA the other one took 3020 mA there only at 3000 mA battery. The motor look salvageable needs a new cylinder on one side and a new front hub but the crank is straight. 6 of the 13 servos are completely shot. Headers and canisters are completely destroyed. The landing gear did survive. I normally have a routine of only flying airplanes three times then charging, was having such a good time that I just forgot. But it is just part of the hobby. Definitely learned a lesson. I don't know what I'm going to replace the plane with I've been looking at a bunch of options.

I'm taking it that low or dead batteries were the cause/problem?

Yep, he ran out of electrons. Ironic thing is, we were talking about the ama rules posted at the field and they had 'em for control line and free flight too. A guy said we could eliminate the control line and free flight rules! I hope Joe doesn't try free flight whith any more of his bigguns, that one obviously didn't work out so well.

Maybe I would've done better with strings attached.

I am sure she'll rise from the dead and parts of her will fly in a new body, as wild as ever !!

Hows the wings? I could use them, the wingtube and the fuse phenolic for a franken edge I want to get together.

P A U.......Piled Another Un-forgettable.

And of course it had to be the EDGE! Always remember her in "Peace". Not "pieces"

It sucks your motor got wacked too! Crashes always SUCK!
