Low full throttle pass and suddenly put itself in the dirt. No imput from me. Doing about 100 mph. Huge divot!!

Just curious.. what kind of receiver pack were you using? Did you hear any fludder or anything before it hit? Control surface could have let loose.. i hate when things like this happen!!

Seems like a lot of power for that plane. Bipes aren’t usually built for extreme speed. Sorry for the loss.

I had a Futaba R6008HS Rx. No flutter. No warning. I did mangage to pull up on the stick half way before it hit but nothing happened. I do have a help question in the Radio Forum about my radio and receivers. I have a 10 cap and have had two crashes. I always have used 617 Rx with no issues.

The tuned pipe made it heavy. It would go fast in a straight line though.
