Last flight of the year for the PA Ultimate
#1
Sad 

Here it is a good old fashioned write off!
   
I believe it was a loose elevator linkage glued carbon to plastic dating back 8 years to the original yellow Ultimate.
A new red one is on the way thanks to my wife.
It was good to see so many on the last day of the year.
Indoor I believe is next Wednesday.

Sorry to see the ultimate go in
It looked like a control failier
Needed a change of colour anyway

OOoooo, Red ones go faster....... :-D

Gravity sucks, or should I say, is the downfall of all things flying. It's the way it's controlled that makes the end memorable or not.

Red is a better colour as well

SRL I have video of the old one when I was last at the field. Such a shame you lost it.
I look forward to seeing the new one though.

Just got the fuse out of the box , It is so nice!
New hs-65 servos and linkages are now in the wing.
The only bits reused will be the motor with a new shaft, ESC and RX.

I finish putting it together at 2 this afternoon. Its hot outside 42C but I just had to fly it.
   
I got to the field , two batteries and back without it melting.
All was great but I lost the tail wheel off its wire not long after the first take off. Nothing to do with my assembly.
It fly's just how it looks. Never mind the past times are great now with stuff available like this !

PA planes have a habit of loosing their rear wheels. every one of mine has done that. Baz found the last one of my Katana in the field somewhere. Good stuff you are enjoying it. Looks great as well mate.
