CUPRA November Pylon Race - Jeff Packer's Crash from Jon Finch on Vimeo.
These are the people that I fly with. Generally a very generous and fun group. Next race is in March, and I already have ideas to make the next one faster.Mittwoch, 10. November 2010
RIP
Remember that really fast plane from earlier in the year? Well it saw its end on the last weekend of racing this year. Spectacularly. I lost control around the first turn of the first heat. I am pretty sure my aileron servo stripped out. The only other possibility is maybe the antenna broke loose and so when it got out a ways, It lost the signal. Either way, the aircraft quickly turned into a 100mph lawn dart.Here you can see the nose buried about 4 inches deep into the sod. Battery pack, receiver and 3 of 4 servos seem to be a complete loss. Surprisingly, I think the motor itself survived. This is us digging it out.
