Title: Loss of a family member
Post by: girishsarwal on June 23, 2013, 08:49:23 PM
Guys,

I lost my newly made J3 cub electric while flying today. It was very high, and while the first flight was amazing today, the second fight, the poor thing could not fight against the wind and drifted really far off; Although I still had radio range but controls were bleak, and trees and building and power poles came into the view, when I could not see it anymore; after which it probably came tumbling down on someone's rooftop or some trees. Untraceable now.

The show must go on; Time for changes to a spad build, originally done by Sanjay Rai sir...I will be changing the electric to a nitro.

R.I.P J3 - tail no. TW-740
