Yeah he flies JR but if you look at the video it looks as if the plane just got away from him. When you are rolling that fast that close to the ground you better be on it. I doubt it was any type of lockout but I'm sure folks will start saying it. |

I am sure most of the people that visit these types of forums know better, but you'd be amazed at how many people think that pilots like Mark are just good programmers and have a program in the radio that makes the plane be able to do what it does

Heck, even my dad, up until this past weekend, though that when I said "programming my radio" I meant installing new chips that allow me to do rolling loops and what not! He doesn't get much chance to see me fly, so I did some tricky stuff with a plane and had him watch my thumbs. The first words out of his mouth were, "So, you mean that guy that crashed was actually using his thumbs to do that??? HOLY $#!+, no wonder it crashed!!"
Mark is human, he actually did a dumbthumb, plane and simple. The reason he didn't just stop and pull up on the elevator is because he was out there to win.
