My old and trustworthy Radian came to a sad end Sunday. It flew and landed with no problems a couple of times, however the third time as I launched the motor was noisy, as if something was vibrating. It came in and landed with no problem and a quick inspection seemed to show no problem. I launched again and still with noisy motor, flew around a bit then started to lose control for no reason, (definitely not pilot error)(as if). slowly the wings decided to separate and eventually departed from the fuselage, which descended like a bullet.
oh dear, never mind!!
That’s a shame Dave, it’s always bad when you loose a much loved and normally reliable plane, will you get another?
Dave!
Another sad loss!
However, how many times have I told you not to perform your party tricks when I’m not there?
