To day i lost my RCleague Yak54. It was only me flying on the field and after around 15 minutes of flight the engine quit while going around from a high approach, turnng downwind. I tried to land but the rate of descent was too high. Although the Yak is rebuildable, but i am going to go for my Extra300S.... waiting in the box to be built.

Abdullah, Wow mate that looks like you had a bad day for sure. Thats a very nice model you have and thankfully all the gear in it didn't look to take a beating or suffer any damage. Your field looks pretty cool as well. Looks like a real airport maybe. Sorry to see your bad luck and I hope to see some photos of your new Extra once you get it ready and flying. Kiwi |

Abdullah, Looking at your photos I know think that must be your club flying field. Those look like pilots stations marked with blue numbers. If thats your field I think you have an absolutely marvelous setup. Woops you beat me to the post Kiwi |

I am sure you will like it. No doubt It is a good site, but the members we have are thrill seekers. As it is a new club, we still need to mature in our flying habits and safety standards. Most of the times atleast i am scared of the other guys flying around me.
