Well, I just got a lot more respect for Mark now, nothing to do with his flying but he said it was his fault he put it in, not equipment failure.
Even the best get behind in their inputs sometimes, I have yet to see someone always fly perfect, and for Mark to stand up and say It was me, good for you buddy.

I'm like most others, and hate to see anyone lose a plane, but Mark was doing what he does, pushing it, and that is why more times than not he is standing on the podium.........Well done!

Chuck

FWB

I don't remember seeing this term used before. It has now been added to the Giants Jargon.

That bitch was ripping though! Sounds like a full scale coming down the hill.
Didnt it though? Wow, you could really hear the stress on the motor from the gyroscopic force of that prop, combined with the changing sound of the prop, really sounded like a full scale.

Mark, Dumb-Thumb I don't think so!

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!

That's possibly the hardest hit I've ever seen from a model.

Well you weren't at the 'moon' one Sunday afternoon when Frazier EXPLODED his plane. Oh, I was at the TAS when Mark crashed so I saw both of em. Marks was a puff a dirt in the air...Frazier's was a BALL'O'FIRE. Yep, Bogan takes 1st place this year in the 2006 Crash'n'Burn Contest.
Normalized:
Bogan 1000

Mark truly is a class act, he was being a good sport about it all. We took a few pics of the carnage in a box, and Tony even made him a very special hat. Then all the girls gathered 'round him to try to make him feel better. I think it worked! (See Final results on home page)

I hope that the CA didn't soak through the hat to the hair. LOL That's what would have happened to me if the hat was on my head. My luck just works that way.
