Flight Story that Ended in Tragedy.

Flight Story that Ended in Tragedy.

Last weekend I took my aerobird challenger out flying. The weather conditions were perfect. I have two aerobird challengers and I couldn't get one to fly. I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out whats wrong with it, but it never left the ground.

I got out the other plane and it took off immediately. I must of had that plane close to 100 yards in the air above me. I was flying it in circles, but when you get up that high its hard to tell what the planes doing. It could have been flying upside down for all I knew.

Then it happened. For about 5 seconds, I noticed the plane was not responding to my controls. And then it went into a nose dive and came crashing into the ground. The impact was so loud, I think the neighbors across the street probably heard it.

I figured out the battery pack went dead and of course when that happens the propellar stops spinning and you have no control over the steering functions.

Needless to say, it was a spectacular site. It stinks that I have to get a new plane, but I'll just take it as a lessoned learned the hard way.

Tip: Carry a stop watch with when your flying. If your battery pack only last about 12

minutes, bring your plane down soon after 10.

Never fly to high where you can't see what the planes doing very well.
