Incident Details

December 23, 2007 Location of the incident: , Type of Incident:

Preparing out to lay wing to launch and didn’t realize it was sitting on a small smoldering log. a 12″ diameter hole was burnt in the top. The ribbing was also damaged. Hopefully it will be repairable. I couldn’t see the hole when kiting it up but realized there was something wrong when it wouldn’t stay up in perfect laminar air. There was a big hole in the top!
