Any one fly model planes?

I bought my first RC plane in 1978 Cox Cessna Centurian. Been at it ever since. Been a fun hobby.




Been flying model aircraft (rotor and fixed wing) for about 10 years.


If you do you know how it goes, run out of air speed or altitude and bad things happen.

This was one of my favorite planes. Precision aerobatics addiction.
I had her for about 5 years when I lost her.
High alpha, high speed, low altitude knife edge and a little bobble. Not sure if it was an eddy or I just whiffed it but the result is the same.....

Sucks big time but this air frame was old and tired anyway. All electronics seem to have survived and new airframe shows up tomorrow!

Ofcourse it happened with a bunch of folks watching....

:)

All in all she was a great plane. Can't wait to get the new one in the air! Seriously one of the best airframes I have ever had the pleasure of flying.
