Bad day at the field this week. Thursday at the L-pad at AMA my number one ship I've been flying for 6+ years gave me a scare, while doing the square eight something snapped and the handle went to a 45 degree at level flight. I brought it home and found that the bell crank platform had come lose. So I took my #2 ship off the wall and went out today. While preforming a wingover the engine quite just before the top, I couldn't run fast enough. Two planes in two days. I haven't put one in the ground in some 10 or 12 years. I was going to go to a contest this weekend, not now. The sliver lining behind this dark cloud is, three people in the last four hours has called me up and offered a plane for me to finish out the year. Not their junk, but their gooooood stuff. I like this hobby and the people in it. Thanks guys for the offers. One ugly picture no one likes to see is attached.
