| Is this the second time you've lost a motor off this plane?I just watched the video, nice job on the dead stick landing. |

| I have the whole thing on video, and made one of the smoothest landings after it came off. This aircraft is amazing the way it can take that kind of CofG change. I'll post the video to YouTube soon. |

This is a big 'oops'. I obviously hadn't tightened the motor onto the motor mount enough... Flying with my nice Canon camera on board, the motor came off, and the prop blades sheard off on something. Here is one of them coming past the camera! I found the prop blades, but have yet to find the motor. :( Note to self - improve fastening of motor to mount. |

| Very pretty. Those surly bonds just keep being slipped. |

Bit windy today. I think this is Rhysleo flying here! |

Repaired! Only problem was that I ran out of silver Solite covering. So there's a black patch on the wing at the moment. New motor and prop needed too. Will also get some new batteries, I think mine are too old (3 years?). |

Damage is the result of the motor cutting out (ESC over heated? Bad battery?) and coming down in some trees. Oh well, these things happen... |

Damage from unscheduled encounter with a tree. Now repaired! |

Repairs to the wing. Covering removed, small balsa fillet added to strengthen broken corner. Then will recover. |

| Wow, nice photo. I wanted to drive down and see the launch but I had to work today. I have seen a landing though and thats pretty awesome too. |

| The only launch I've seen was a night launch and I was way out in Orlando, but even at that distance it was very impressive. |

| The reflection is sweet! Those "Marsh Muck" lens filters always add a certain vibrancy to any image, don't you think? |
