Hello all, I’ve been busy this summer and away from the forum. However I have to share what happened this am.
We recently got into rc planes and we went out this morning to enjoy the cool weather.
While flying our new Eflite umx turbo timber evolution in a field behind a local school the plane was attacked by a hawk.
I was flying from left to right and was banking left when an apparently territorial hawk took a chunk out of the wing on a plane that was on flight # 8.
I only saw the hawk when he made contact with the plane and then saw some type of debris fall. I wasn’t initially sure if he hit me, so I brought the plane in and found what looks like a bite out of the wing. I went and looked and found the piece of foam afterwards and may try and glue it back in.
I’m kind of annoyed cause it’s a new plane, but then again hawks are my favorite bird.
