Yeah i honestly cannot remember what my throttle position was when t happened. I was playing with pump rates, it was upped from the last time I flew it. Seemed a little too dark this last flight

That’s the most of the damage. That will keep me busy.

Looks as if it will be good as new once it gets more of your time . And where you fly it could have been easily totaled so cudos for the save .

It was a beautiful day in mid Missouri. Cool temps and zero wind this evening. Got several fights on my Crack Laser and Crack Camel after work today. I wish all days were this perfect.

That looks a lot better, and it looks like just superficial stuff that is broken. Just keep picking away at it and you will be in the air agin.

We made it a Behemoth sized quad powered plane kind of day. Weather was superb when we arrived. Almost no wind... which makes landing these 50 pound beasts a bit of a challenge. They like to just keep going... and going... and going... and.... Hee hee. Touch and goes are so fun with a big Yak. Practiced a little reverse crabbing today. Usually I will drop in at a sharp angle into the wind. Today I dropped in at an opposite angle from the wind. It works great.... you just have to remember to account for course correction. Still, it was great fun. Well, that is until the nasty thunderstorm rolled in. Mother nature still doesn't like me. LOL. That beast DLE 222 of my sons is getting stronger every day. Literally shreads a Falcon 32x12. He is going to swap out for a 33x11w eventually. If the bolt diameter would have been the same, I would have loaned him mine from my 212 just so we could get an idea of performance difference. An all around good morning for flying.

Went to the club funfly yesterday and oh what fun we had. Between normal open flying we had some beater planes to fly around and shoot at with paintball guns.

The first one looks like it crashed in a Pepto Bismol factory.

That’s always a good time.

I would have thought that a paint ball gun would shoot right through the plane, but I guess not good fun though.
