3D GRAVEYARD (Post pics of the mangled old bones that used to be your Airplane!)

One from a while back:


Not as impressive as the rest of those I've seen on this forum, but I await plenty of exciting crashes as I move more into the world of balsa!

Ouch…. that still hurts to look at!

Elevator and rudder servos gave out and it flew into a swamp... in front of 200 pilots. Needs the motor box rebuilt along with a new canopy and cowl.

I flew a parachute with it and as I was pulling out the motor gave up the goat as the rotor decided it wanted nothing to do with the rotor.

Ouch!

Midair with an Apprentice S. The SAFE system didn't know what to do with the single SFG that was added when a chunk of my elevator became imbedded in the wing.

This isn't the first Apprentice that has taken out a nice balsa plane. Must be the poor visibility from the high wing trainer!

details?

details?

That was a little full scale sarcasm. Doing formation with a high wing and low wing is not a good idea due to poor visibility overhead. However, I've read a couple of reports of Apprentice and 3D airframes "not getting along well"!
No particulars. I know you're not the first is all. Sorry for the loss.

It happens. He and I shook hands and said no hard feelings. The gear survived. I'll get another one when the hobby budget allows.
