G'day Folks,

Back from Temora, I trust you all had a great weekend from the posts!

The weekend was largely enjoyable, Maiden flight went very well on Friday:


However on Saturday:



:cry:

Normally you guy's wouldn't see pics like these, but in this case Darren felt it important to make the point that it can happen to anyone's plane at any time. In this case he was the victim of interference whilst it was just cruising around, he had control then it suddenly went away for a second, came back and then went again, He got it a 3rd time and had to sacrifice the plane to make sure it didn't hit anything or anyone else. Unfortunatley the fire crew was incredibly slow to react and there wasn't much left of the plane when they finally got there, He was only about a minute into the flight so there was stacks of fuel on board and the turbine was glowing red hot after soaking in burning Jet A for a few minutes and may not be repairable.

Other than that, the weekend was a great experience, there were a few other crashes including a incredibly spectacular F22 going down at easily 300+kph (Pilot lost orientation). I have about 1500 photo's to get through, the rental lens was awesome

Catch you guys at the AGM on Saturday
