  • Bad Mosquito crash

    Had a bad day at the field today!! Was flying my beautiful Mossie when seems likes one of the motors was in distress. Plane started rolling and was uncontrollable and ended up 30 ft up a tree, still looks like it's still in one piece. Will have to cut down tree to get it back Sad day!!!!

    Bummer chevstar......hope there's not too much damage when you get it down. Last Friday, I had a spinner come loose, and of course loss of power then. Did a flare into the corn field about 20 rows in. Easy to find suspended about 5' off the ground in the 10'+ Iowa corn. No damage except for some green colored rash in a few spots. Replaced the spinner and was back in the air again!

      Oh Man!
      I feel for you Chevstar, hope she comes down in one piece.
      The only thing I can say is that these foamy kits take a heck of a beating, my Pandora looked like a write off until I took a good look and found that most things were glueable. Good old Gorrilla glue and some CA fixed herup. This was after a lawn dart from maybe fifty feet up. The only thing I had to replace was the spinner back plate

      Good luck to you

        Always hate to hear of a nice plane going down. I hope you can get it back and get her flying again.
