crash pics and description forum

Don't know bout everybody else, but I get a kick out of crash pics (action is best, but whats left is always good too).  I know we put a lot of time in our models, but I personally think when I crash its kinda funny.  I only fly 1/2A now but have crashed em all when I was younger.  Heres a recent crash pic of mine.

SHHHHHHHH!  I don't want my wife to know that.  I'm itching for a new plane and this is the best reason to get one

That picture, above, of Bob Brookins' plane a split second after impact is one of the best model airplane pictures I have ever seen.  I hated to see the demise of the plane, but the picture is one of a kind, and a unique view I had never seen before!  Was it Elwyn who took that picture?

Heres my ole Dolphin darted in after the pushrod exited the bellcrank.  Elwyn did take this picture.

I couldn't make it to VSC this year. David Russum got the great photo of Bob Brookins' Humongous making a death dive into the asphalt.

Thanks, Elwyn.  I automatically associate great C/L pictures with you!

David did do an excellent job, also.

No matter how long we've had the plane, no matter how much it cost, nor how many times it has been repaired, we ALWAYS feel a loss. Perhaps it's the effort, the time spent, the memory links with friends, or perhaps feelings just remind us which side of the ground WE are on.

So much violence on TV--now, here it is on my favorite web site!!

All models have an expiration date; just not visable from the outside.  I know this is true, because I have found it on some of mine when the internals have been exposed after a sudden stop.  Not funny, but a part of flying models.

Not much give to that asphalt. I know that first hand.
