Jon and all others interested,
I learned last night that a battery problem did exist during the recent
Montague X-C Challenge event in Montague, CA.
The battery, for whatever unknown reason of Rich Tiltman's SB/Spicer T did
crap out during one of his flights on Sat. They did accomplish a quick
battery change, and the plane was in a terminal speed dive, but when Rich
pulled back on the stick to regain control of the plane, a wing tip panel
blew up. Being the expert pilot he is, Rich was able to control it to a
landing, not a terminal crash. He continued on in the contest with a back up
plane.
Just to keep things on RCSE up to date and correct as I know it.
