Rebuild Master Class

[Andy Hoffer]

Maybe @Frank v B k and @bweaver can team up to raise our level of theatre in the run-up to next season's (re)build class! 

See time stamp 13:28!  Amazing in slow motion.

Wow.  That will take more than a gallon of 5 minute epoxy.   I would have to set Bruce's timer a thousand times.

Looked at it several times with stop motion.  The plane did a slight roll to the right, then when he corrected with a left input, the tail slid to the right, putting side forces on the fin/rudder.  Then the fin/rudder broke off.  Classic example of a progressive failure.  It wasn't even going that fast.
Fascinating footage.  Thanks for posting it*.

*oops! That's a compliment.  It will never happen again.

being a beginner like I am
is this an example that you can get any thing to fly if you have enough power...
to me he could have kept flying...  he got scared cause it did not look right
he must of been thinking I got to bring this plane (used to be) down it cant fly like that....
I'm thinking he made a star fighter from starwars  and kept flying it.
