well it was 30 sec into the flight,very low,just thrashing the thing around and the engine quit,not hi enough to save er,upon further inspection,the ball link popped out of the socket on the throttle arm,and tank runs the return spring,so there you have it!.1st crash at the new site,i dont think it will be the only one though!

I saw Tank fly at the huckfest and for about 30sec on suday. He is a great flyer and the plane flew awsome. It's to bad I really wanted to fondle his transmitter.

ABSOLUTELY NEVER. The throttle did exactly what I wanted it to do in that situation. Airplanes are replaceable, peoples body parts are not.

The airplane did fly great though. Nothing that couldnt be done with that bird.

A new one will be on its way soon. You are more than welcome to have a pull on the Slick 2.0!
