Default Fliton Edge Dumb Thumbed!

Well Sarge had a little incident at our field today. After a less than perfect ''arrival'' onto a 20 knot nor-wester he attemped to taxi back to the pits. Whereupon the motor/esc/firewall departed from the remainer of the model. He shall now forever be known as ''taxi'' because this proves that he simply cannot do so.

After being 'knighted' with the cowling as a kiwi styles ''1kW dunce cap" he broke down in tears.
