Modified china glider hits fence at 130mph
About a month ago I was flying a cheap china glider with cut down wings that I put an granson hobby super mega jet V2 outrunner in and a 4 cell lipo and a 5x5 apc prop, and I had just started to head stright down full throttle for a speed pass but when I was just about level after pulling out hard 8 inches of the left wing broke off and it started to spiral and went right through a barpwire fence which cut its wing and tail off and hit the gravel road on the other side going end over end. when I got to it it was in about 45 pieces and the motor had a chunk out of it and a cracked magnet the esc never worked again nut the lipo battery did not have a scratch because I surrounded it in foam. All together it was $75 in damage
