Just like to send my thoughts to Robbie on the dad loss of a very nice plane.

All the best
Waynr

Oh no! What's happened Wayne, it was OK when I left last night?

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.

Sorry to hear that Robbie
I suppose the only consolation is that you know what caused it and no one else was involved.

Hi Robbie
I now we spoke on the field and as you say it's nice when fellow modellers show their feelings when anyone's models goes in I know you will bounce back.
