RDRC 40% Extra crash

lancegeist · 04-22-2007, 12:56 PM

Watched this one go down, pancaked inverted while transitioning from inverted harrier to hover. Ouch! I feel for this guy, what a loss.

Never the less... 40% JTec' Radiowave Extra 330. DA 150 w/ Vess prop pulled the snot out of it. Sorry for his loss. That man did not mind flying it for us either!

How did that happened? Dumb thumb or did the engine quit?

SleepyC · 04-22-2007, 02:04 PM

I don't know... to me it looks as if that may buff out!

I'm afraid I'd be like the guy in the second pic scratchn' my head, very sad,

sorry for the loss

Looked like he almost had it and the wing tip hit.

Your going to crash pushing the limits,"It's just an airplane" He will build another.

I think it was an Extra.
The leading edge of the wing on a Edge is pretty straight.

My dad has an awesome set of tools, I think we can fix it!

Man, that is ugly....sorry for the loss

everyone always says fly 2 mistakes high, but what they didnt say is THAT IS NO FUN!!! i finally started doing low harriers (dad hates when i do it now) and i cant stop doing it, its so much more impressive. its just a model airplane so why not push the limits ya know?
