Video : On-board sailplane crash

[Roop]

I managed to completely total my beloved Parkzone Radian a few weeks ago by flying it like a complete dick. At the time, I had my Sony Bloggie video camera mounted on the wing, so you can all savour the final (and somewhat excruciating) 30 seconds of my lovely plane in glorious Full HD...!

The Bloggie survived without a single scratch. The plane is wrecked.

It was a massive stack. Given the cost of replacing the sailplane, not sure I really want to do it again. That said it'll probably happen anyway...!

That is a fair old impact. Amazing the camera survived with no damage!
