well, it crashes like real thing, also

What a shame! I'll bet the guys that made this are just sick.

oh man that sucks bigtime...

i wonder what happend... that plane was really frickin cool

absorbentishe · 09-07-2004, 11:50 AM

Hopefully they got many hours of enjoyment out of it first. That's tragic.

Ilow · 09-07-2004, 03:21 PM

that is too bad, I don't suppose that it gives them any consolation whatsoever that the people who designed/built it may have been the pilots as well. That is a big investment, I wonder if you could insure something like that with Lloyds of London or something...?

DEI37 · 09-07-2004, 03:46 PM

Man, has that got to suck. Hope they've got some sort of insurance or REALLY good income!

yellowgowild · 09-07-2004, 10:35 PM

I think it was a little too windy that last time they flew it. Not to mention the electrical interference that storm must've been causing.

RaDiAn · 09-08-2004, 08:20 AM

Whoa that a real shame.....After watching that, all I can think is all that money / time up in smoke. I'm sure that was very expensive hobby.

the_marq · 09-08-2004, 08:39 AM

So what happened?

The one foto is captioned "Shot Down?" Is there a consipiracy theory in the works?

splck · 09-08-2004, 05:31 PM

heheh...it's nice to see I'm not the only one to crash a RC plane.

Moonduck · 09-08-2004, 08:12 PM

Oh man, that's a shame!

Forum link to a thread which fills in what appears to have happened. The final message on page two has a link that actually works, at the moment, and includes the entire flight.

Wow, that really sucks for those guys. I bet that thing cost a lot of money. Huge explosion too.

Super Model · 11-08-2004, 07:48 AM

I don't know how to feel, at one point you know the risk you take with this kind of toys. I feel sorry that so much time went down the drane. But, as the RC forum says, they are planning to rebuild it, so we might even see it again

BoltedDown · 11-15-2004, 03:11 PM

I'm with yellowgowild. From all of the wind noise... it doesn't sound like it was a good day for flying.

I posted a copy of the crash video on my website. http://www.joepilot.net/node/132. Hopefully my server won't melt.
