Aeromaster Heartbreak

by R.Maxwell
(Arnaudville, La.)

I bought a beautiful Aeromaster bi-plane already built from a hobbyshop. It was flown a couple of times before I got it. I took it to the field and took it off and it flew beautifully.
I made about 3 great flights with loops and rolls and then... my friend at the field said lets see it do an outside loop, I of course said no problem here we go...
Well I made it about half way through when the bottom wing, the one with the ailerons, fell off. After diving at the ground I thought "Hey, I can fly it with the rudder and elevator", so I pulled it up just in time to catch a high line and rip half of the top wing off.
It made a beautiful spiralling rolling dive into the very hard earth. It was fun while it lasted...
Oh and by the way my friend thought it was pretty funny.

Oh no, what a disaster! It does sound a truly spectacular crash, and if that line wasn't there you probably could have limped her home... d'oh!

I've seen an Aeromaster lose the top wing and land just fine.... but not the bottom wing, lol!

It takes a long time to build one of them sucka's...
