Did i spy a field Rc plane utility retrieval scooter. Gotta get me one dem,
on a serious note that sucks, really sorry bout the loss guys,

but hey at least ya had the scooter.

flybye · 04-22-2007, 08:43 PM

No chance of fixing it huh???

Marty · 04-22-2007, 08:54 PM

I was watching it when it happened. The engine was definitely running when it hit. Another 2 feet and he would have pulled out.

IIRC, (it happened so fast) he pulled into a wall about 20 feet high, then pushed over inverted and looked like he was going into a rolling harrier. Then it went weird and struck the ground with the tail, inverted.

He was flying it like it was a foamie. When he was flying, you had to stop and watch! I've seen him fly before, and I always suspected that if that plane ever crashed it would be from metal fatigue in the wing tube.

Dumb thumb it is then... or probably misjudgment as to whether or not he was going to do an inverted harrier or a rolling harrier instead.

flyin woodbutcher · 04-22-2007, 10:08 PM

Aw it was a dumb thumb all the way. The guy has skill , but he flys Buck Nasty Aerobatics. He was in a low hover and it fell over on its back. He tried to roll out instead of full down input . The plane was in knife edge attitude when it slide stright down onto the left wing . With some forward momentum and the Badd Ass DA pulling like a frieght train. When it hit, the motor broke off from the force before the fuse hit. I was watching like a hawk cause I was scart. He had already had a few good saves earlier in the day.

Larry Lewis · 04-22-2007, 10:31 PM

Hey WoodButcher,,,,,,,,,,,take another look at that picture. Klank and Gurley Mahn got the same head scratch'n motion go'n on there. Hmmmmm,,,ya dont reckon there's some connection in the wood pile do ya? LOL

You know,,,,,,that Father Like Son thing they talk about.
As for the plane, ole Hose pushes'em hard. No room for mistakes. We've seen the wing bend more than once on that bird. Musta had the toughest damn aluminum wing tube ever produced. He took it well, and has a SD 35% Yak for a back up. He wont be grounded by any means.

flyin woodbutcher · 04-22-2007, 11:18 PM

Hell yea I heard that. Aint no telling what the hell was in the wood pile. How bout the look on Bat Fastards face ? Hes been there done that . Knows the feeling of a big 40ti going in.

lancegeist · 04-23-2007, 03:11 PM

I overheard the pilot while standing next to the wreck, he was saying that he missed a mixing switch while trying to transition to the hover. My mistake about it being 50% edge, thought for sure that's what it was...

ifly3d · 04-23-2007, 03:32 PM

YEP, He hit his flap switch is what he told me. Hey larry they do look a like. LOL. I dont think a 350 chevy would have pulled him out of that. LOL

Larry Lewis · 04-23-2007, 04:09 PM

Hey,,,,I know what that switch looks like. Thats the one they call the "Larrier" switch! LOL
That was a helleva landing I did,,,huh Hot Dog? LOL

Maybe Jose was trying to flip the "Recovery Switch"?

Yo Jose! I KNOW you get in here and read sometimes,,,how bout YOUR version of what happened!!!

flyingklown · 04-23-2007, 04:14 PM

Ouch! Sorry for your mishap. It is part of flying 3D. AT LEAST YOU CAME DOWN AND TRIED! I am not ready yet...but hoping by the end of the season and have my new plane ready before I do try anyway. Like someone said...it is a plane and can be replaced...Try again! I know it is hard if you do not have the hobby $$$...But I try not to let that rule me..but I want to be ready before I do.. Good luck and try again dude!

ifly3d · 04-23-2007, 04:27 PM

Yea larry I give that a perfect ten or should I say more like 80-90 feet that is in the top of that tree.

Larry Lewis · 04-23-2007, 06:13 PM

Nahh,,not THAT day. Thats the day I invented "TreeD" flying!
I'm talk'n about the day I was gonna pop it up into a TR, down on the deck, but forgot to turn off the spoilerons!!!!!!!!!!! Did a real number on the landing gear! lol

jongurley · 04-23-2007, 07:32 PM

Strike 2 Larry,,,,,,,LOL<<<< the pic is great, Since I have my degree in business managment,, I was scratching my head and adding up the money's worth, Colonel Klank was on the far right scratching his head while listening to me add up money, and Bat Fastard was standing there looking at the camera saying "I did that same sh it last year,, but this guys had gas left",,,,,, ahahhahahaha
