So I flew My Astron Skydart 2 for the first time yesterday; totally stock, and what a failure it was!! :fly:
It lifted off ine, but at about 25 ft. It arced over and shot towards the ground under thrust at approx a 35 degree angle before the ejection charge fired approx. 8 in. from the ground shooting the motor pod out and catapulting the glider into the ground causing the NC to dig in aout an inch, and the upper BT to fail entirely. it is now crumpled up with everything mangled up to the intakes. :cry:
Any ideas???
Why?
How?
What can I do to prevent this in the future?
