Teamwork - A picture of Jim Meighan’s MARQUART CHARGER (Originally
built by Sal Lucania) before and after a CRASH. The root cause was a 3-pound
10S LiPO battery pack that slipped out of place and moved towards the back of
the cockpits making it extremely tail heavy. The battery pack became a free floater
with-in the fuselage causing lack of control. Luckily, Jim somehow got the Charger
to survive the crash with minimal damage so it can return to the field soon.
Many thanks to Ben and Mike Busko for locating the model in the tall weeds.
Both of them had shorts on and got beat-up with scratches. |

| Unidentified
pilot below going to retrieve his plane in tree. Luckily I was
there and brought a pole to help. Little did I know that when I arrived I had to help rescue the pilot who got trapped in the thick brush as well as the plane. Lesson to be learned: Don't fly alone! |

Hiestand family for the donation of this kit. Plane was
successfully assembled and flown by Carl. After a few shaky
landing attempts, input on the plane's CG by Nobu got it fixed!!!
