I have heard of the black garbage bag a few times but seriously you would have no trouble getting that thing in one without having to break it up anymore.

Whew!!!!! That one hurt.

Geez... that avionic at 200mph could have easily killed those guys if it had veered off to the right when it fluttered!

how the heck did he hit the truck, shouldnt ever fly toward people or vechicals... thats nuts!

The forced perspective looks worse than it is. It was out there a bit. But still, it's why I stood back a ways.

Holy hell.......i've never seen one burned to the ground like that before. Thanks for the info. sorry for frazier for sure.

180mph, straight into the ground or into the rim of that truck, the guy who crashed it says he didn't hit the rim, sure looks like it to me. They used a leaf rake to pick up the pieces...haha.. Damn...

Errr......
looks like a refuse dump

You mean he actually turned the transmitter off by mistake?

You hear about people doing that all the time. I've never understood how it happens so much. They aren't THAT close together. Now that I've said that, just wait! I'll go do it! haha

man oh man and i was going to madien the yak today. i think i will wait until the pics are no longer in my brain. well i hope the dude flying the jet at least bought the truck owner a set of mags. man what a pile of trash. not to mention the money. i think i would have quit after that. at least went back to 100 planes for a while, or foamies and the dude that hit the light pole??? didnt anyone tell him it wasnt a park flyer

That's what you call an intertwined rotor smuuggle!! Great shot

Well, this may not be the greatest, but it is the end of the TV that was a lot of fun. Dead stick in the weeds today. Did lot look as if the landing was as hard as the damage it caused.

the wings are still in the tree..

the tree is in new jersey...

the crash was 2 years ago...

the story: Was doing some violent snaps, never really tried them before... So.. i never thought about putting safety connectors on the battery...

the battery is in front of the plane, we found it laying at the bottom of the tree, with teh plane 50 feet up... it disconnected in flight, locked out, and went full throttle full speed into the tree, shearing the wings off
