Kermit asked me to not lodge any videos today and as he is my BFF I will oblige. My V tail balsa glider suffered a lot of damage. I think one of the V tails broke off in flight while I was circling tightly in a rough thermal. Anyway it plowed in vertically from 200 feet. Motor and battery need replacing and wing will need a substantial rebuild. Oh well, its over twenty years old so I got good mileage out of it, even the trophy for winning the Tas 7 Cell comp held near Lonny in the days when 7 Nicad cells were the power source.
So I may be after a new Rudder/Elevator thermal glider!
