Brian's UCD recently took a header into San Diego bamboo field. The damage is not that bad, a new fuse should do it. It was quite a ways up. Battery failure was the suspected cause. After a hard day of flying, it came out of a blender, locked into an aileron roll, and went straight in. The bamboo cushioned things nicely. |

Now that 33% Cap #2 is done, I finally took some pics of all that I saved from #1. The spinner, a header, and a can. A brand-new can is also shown, for comparison. Crash details click here. |

 Well, on about flight 100 the 25% Cap became the victim of pilot error. I had a flameout at medium altitude at mid field. Not wanting to take a chance with the retaining fence at the end of the runway, I tried to squeak out a 270 degree turn to scrub some altitude.. I scrubbed too much, and snapped it right into the ground. |
 The fuse broke right behind my previous repair, so I guess the repair was decent. |
 Snoopy came through in good shape.. he'll be back in the next version. I think I know where to find a new fuse, the wing was not severely damaged. I guess my plan to build a lighter version of this plane has been accelerated somewhat :-) |
