Today I crashed my LT-25. :mad: I was distracted and wasn't concentrating on the plane when I noticed the plane it had gotten a little too far away and was in a dive from about 30 feet. In a panic I tried to pull out but it was too Late. R.I.P. :(

Mike,
You might want to ask the moderators to move this to the crash forum. Usually there are photos included, but just the concept of not being distracted, and what can happen if you are, would be right at home on the Crash forum.

And, my condolences on your loss. Any possibility that it can be fixed?

Gary

Sorry to here about your plane. I hope not a total loss, and that it can be repaired.

Sorry, no crash pics. I had about 20 flights on the plane. The wing had both tips broke but no ribs or stringers between the ribs. Both the horz. and vert. stabs with control surfaces where intact but seperated from the plane. The fuse was gutted every former busted and tail wheel plate broke loose. I discovered that one of the aileron servers was completely stripped during salvaging. I was using HS 81s and they may not have handled the strain, or it could have been pilot error and the servo stripped during the crash. It's hard to tell.

I bought a Hog Bipe today to replace the vacant spot in my hanger.
