Back in 2003 this model went down at the SWMAC November turbine meeting. After an engine flame-out it hit hard and eventually the liquid propane tank spewed its contents into the smoldering wreckage.
Boy do these guys know how to have fun!

Another hard-core flier from the SWMAC in Tokoroa NZ, Richard experiences a little flutter at high speed. Includes a special guest appearance by Ron (aka "stumpy").
This plane has been clocked by radar at more than 180KPH on a calm day -- that's over 110MPH. How fast does your trainer fly?

Oh the shame of it all as Ace Flier is demoted to "ditch-digger" after crashing his Skyradier Mach 2 into the drain. Yep, we love a bit of wind at the SWMAC so 20knot cross-winds make us *very* happy.

20knot winds, a cheap ARF, a powerful engine and a tuned pipe spell: FUN!
We clocked this plane on the radar at over 175kph on a calm day (that's 110mph), not bad for a trainer!

(Formerly) Ace Flier thinks his 1/4-scale World Models Piper Cub is actually a cross between a pylon racer and an IMAC aerobatics plane. Just as well that ASP180 is fed with a good diet of our excellent fuel.
Doesn't he fly it just like the real thing?

This is what happens if you run your receiver antenna too close to the aileron extensions and ignore a marginal range-check before the maiden flight
Why don't RC systems ever glitch *up*?

When I broke my GeeBee profile 3D plane in half (crashed it) I wondered if it would still fly without a tail. So I mixed up the ailerons as elevons and gave it a go. With the CG an inch forward of the wing, I wasn't sure it would fly -- but it did.
