Default Re: RDRC 40% Extra crash

I stripped the wings down last night. I'd like to cover them over the weekend. Then all I have to do is assemble it and wait for the paint booth to open up.

Just goes to show ya, stuff happens. Jose is a good pilot, I'd just shot a video of him about 2 weeks prior on this bird. There were two cameras rollin' on him when it happened. Here's a little slideshow of the crash, one of the pics shows parts still flyin' through the air. Man, I really felt bad for Hose that day! The slideshow is at:

Man... That's where that Spektrum receiver went? Do you have the transmitter that went with it too? I can't find it anywhere.

News Flash on the 40% Edge crash... Steve just came on RDRC and said that Jose almost has the bird back together. Looks like Jose has been putting his building skills to work to bring his baby back to life!
