10/28/09 - A deadstick, strong tail wind, and two saves couldn't stop Bill Hudson's plane from doing a cartwheel when it finally landed.
10/28/09 - It really looks worst than it is ... Bill really lucked out as this was a clean break right behind the cockpit/wing area. This plane will fly again!
10/03/09 - Here is a picture of Adam Morgan's 35% Yak at the club's first annual breakfast meeting.
10/29/09 - Here is a picture of Adam Morgan's 35% Yak after a pine tree jumped up and grabed it out of the sky.

01/20/10 - It's a "Thumbs Up" from Jim Bongalis who lost air speed & nosed in his 80cc Hanger 9 Sukhoi 26mm. R.I.P. Ms. Sokhoi!
01/20/10 - Yep ... it's going to cost some greenbacks to repair this one. That's Jim holding his wallet upside down. Notice there doesn't seem to be any money.
12/26/09 - Rich Kelly cartwheeled his electric Typhoon 3D & lost his nose & landing gear on a rough landing.
01/23/10 - Frankie Lynch's Ultra Sport 40 lost its left wing while making a high speed pass across the field turning the plane into a field dart. This was an awsome crash!
01/23/10 - Here's where the plane initially hit the field. That muffler and firewall are still connected to the engine.
01/27/10 - Wayne Coons found the top of a tree with his brand new Hobby Lobby P4D EP Jet's maiden flight. All that was retrievable at the crash site was the jets nose, battery, and the wheels.
Rick Reedy's Old Dawg P-51 spiraled out of control and took a nose dive at full throttle in our neighboring field while making an
approach for a landing. He's not sure what happened, but when he got to the wreckage, the nose cone and engine were about 8"
in the mud. Despite the plane being a total lost, Rick was able to salvage the electronics and engine.
02/07/10 - This was not a good day for David Lutzow despite the bright blue skies above. He found the tops of several pine trees just behind the connex where the mowers are stored. The second picture shows his fuselage resting in the top of a pine tree with two servos hanging from the servo tray. It's going to take Mother Nature a long time to bring this fuselage back down to mother earth.
02/07/10 - There's no doubt David hit a few pine trees. That's a piece of pine stuck in the top of the engine in the first picture. You know it's bad when you bring the pieces of your plane back in a trash bag as David displays in the second picture.
