Oooops!!
« on: July 21, 2007, 06:56:34 PM »
After three very successful flying sessions with my young grandson---the inevitable happened.
Last session he flew two complete solo flights with the Jr. Ringmaster/LA 15.  This morning, right after take-off, he climbed too quickly--lines got slack, he ran back a little and then stuck it in the ground.

Broken prop, inboard wing broken near the fuse.  Wing epoxied back in place, some sanding and tissue/dope and he will be going again.

Ain't this fun???

I built six Jr. Ringmaster wings while learning to fly inverted. Could almost do one in my sleep.

And yes, it is fun. Keep that kid flying!
