Holy crap he was really pushing that extra, that DA-200 sounds like a really pissed off bumble bee lol

Looks like a few Servo's locked up to me It look like he had no control when that went in.

Does he use JR 8611a?

Mad Max, Even though I was unable to attend this year's event in Tucson, I have been staying abreast on this site, and appreciate all the hard work and pics that all of you guys post for others to see and enjoy. I was wondering if I could trouble you, after returning home from this event, if you could email a couple of pics that you took of my son Mark Earl at this event. I like all your pics very much, especially your wide angle shots. You took a pic of Mark with his chin on the cylinder of the DA-150, and one of him walking from the flight line back to the pit area with a focused, business-like expression on his face. Might have been just after his crash. He tells me that it was his fault for the crash, not equipment failure. Could you please email me at ML72218@aol.com at your convenience to let me know if this is possible. Thank You!

Obiviously no noise concerns at that event- that sucker WAS loud!

That's possibly the hardest hit I've ever seen from a model. It's like someone else already said. The only was you can really find your limits is to occasionally go past them. Luckily with models, it allows us to get away with it more easily.

i want a thumb view of that.

Yeah he flies JR but if you look at the video it looks as if the plane just got away from him. When you are rolling that fast that close to the ground you better be on it. I doubt it was any type of lockout but I'm sure folks will start saying it.

How could you possibly tell that? Sure looked like he had a ton of control to me, just rolling that fast, he got he elevator backwards, reversed the split S, and didnt have enough room to make it. To say it "looked" like he had a few servos locked up is bogus-the video isnt clear enough to see anything like that.

I'm with ya on that Tank. It looked like he got crossed up to me also!!

I agree with Tank. Besides, when you push the limits, the limits push back sometimes.
That bitch was ripping though! Sounds like a full scale coming down the hill.

I'm glad you cleared this up Tank. I am with you 100%. It looks like someone was just trying to start a war again from another post about 8611's locking up. There was no way for him to see that a servo was locked up. Just got crossed up on the sticks.
