My buddies Adam on left and Ronnie on Right. UCD 60 and UCD 40... both dead within 10 min of each other. Adam.. out of gas in Hover, and ronnie was floating in the wind, "kiteing" and it dumped. Kind of funny and SAD.

| It will fly!!! |
This is the same plane, first pic is the first crash. I thin that the receiver battery came unplugged. the plane was doing 100 foot tall outside loops until it took a dirt nap in the soybean field. 2nd pic. 4th crash of the plane. Dumb thumb, I did a high speed snap on low rates. My flying Buddy said "I wonder what that would look like on high rates?" I found out. The right wing separated from the fuselage at about 75 feet.
