So four or five years ago I wrecked this thing at the Golden State meet. I was trying to fly it wind that I had no business in whatsoever. But I figured if David, Howard, Paul, Brett, et al were doing it, so could I.
Wrong.
The 'Chip was whizzing through the pattern so fast that I couldn't keep up with it, and the 2nd outside loop of the square 8 did me in. Dammit! Skidded inverted into to the blacktop.
I deemed this plane worthy of repair, so it'll fly again. New tail feathers, new canopy, repair gouges in the nose and wingtip. I'll repaint the repaired areas and the shoot the whole model with clear.
