The Elm had enough of my playtime. The lines went slack doing lazy eights so I kept stepping back, when I righted the plane I didn't realize how far I was off center. On the next pass it was all over lol!

I had to snap a pic, lost the elevator otherwise the plane was unharmed. Feel free to laugh at my expense, I know I did.

I don't use an offset due to the advice given here. The consensus is that it isn't really needed as the tip weight and engine offset play a bigger role than rudder offset. Also rudder offset can actually drag the plane down. Having flown both ways I would have to agree.

Nah Rusty, it's the ol' bruiser BRM. It is a real handful as it's overpowered. I built it 10% smaller than I was supposed to as the plans were undersized by accident. You have to think fast with that one.

The Clown flies like a dream and I hope I never wreck it. I usually use the BRM when I am training.

Maybe John just maybe.....

It's all fixed up now, ready for the next adventure. The crummy thing is my lines also snagged the tree. They would not free themselves so I had to snap the lines that I had just run the day before.

Yeah, those stupid trees also have branches that seem to grow and then reach out to grab planes. I have had several planes get stuck in trees. One got stuck about 50 feet up and spent the better part of a summer in the tree. It does make for a great photo opportunity, though. Glad you got it down to enjoy again.

No chance!

That 70yr old elm would have come down before I let one of my Cox engines languish away in the weather! lol!
