It's the time of year that many of us in the northern half of the world start to think about making the switch to indoor flying and those in the southern realms are enjoying the shift to good flying weather. So get out those cameras and start shooting. Let's see those great shots and get a chance to win a subscription for RC Sport Flyer Magazine.

Well, I don't eat at McDonalds, but I'd guess it was a lockout. ??? Whatever happened, it's a shame.

Rabbit Bash 2009.....what more do I need to say?

Location is correct... but had nothing to do with the failure!!

Lock out or engine failure while hovering ?

Give me a break.... FUTABA FASST.... no lockouts with the good stuff!!! and the 3W170 has been running superbly!!!! Wrong on both counts!!!!

Wingbolt vibrated out?

Circle Gets the square!!!!!

the ONE wing bolt vibrated out!!! :(

One bolt per wing!!! Do any of the other 40%'ers rely on a single bolt???

but here is my 2nd submission....

First time that we fly regularly indoors over the wintertime. :198:
108x52 meters(354x170 feet) hall but very, very bad lightning for camera work, ISO800 and f1.8 50mm lens.
