SH..... Happens
« on: March 11, 2008, 06:47:26 PM »
A first for me....I was flying my FUN 51 today and in the middle of a vertical 8 my engine suddenly screamed and quit and I saw my fuel tank flying off in a different direction.  Tank was rubber banded on and I shudda checked the state of the bands since the plane has not been flown in a couple of months.  Crashed but not bad. Oh well!

Way to go Phil,  I too have times when I don't check things and catch heck when my son does.  Had a split fuel line I couldn't see.  The boy could see it when he put pressure on the tank.  Hope your plane is still flyable.  DOC Holliday
