Well as you know Dad and I are quite anal about our preparation. but on this occasion a £6 spark plug let me down. you just don't expect one to unwind itself still on the plug cap and hanging there out of the engine. I hadn't had any warning or any problems up to that point. Flight was all OK then all of a sudden i lost all power no real options as i was going down wind. She began to stall so flew away from crowd line, I tried to turn it well the other side of runway to land but in she came. Quite a bang. No damage to prop, engine or electronics on inspection only the plug hanging out on ht cable. But air frame is in a skip. I have to be pragmatic, i've had a good run for 6 years without loss, it had to happen sometime. The engine will be hanging on another Bipe by Christmas. Thank you for all support shown today it was very humbling.
