Don't know the plane. Couldn't recognize the pilot in a line up. And the
tale of the battery and the fuse is just that.
The point is that saying a plane broke in use is not good info. If you
find out that over time many of a particular design has had structural
failures that means something. An isolated event means nothing.
Many good planes are going to be broken by bad throwing technique in the
coming year. GOOD planes, BAD technique. That's all.
Maybe you should ask the 'father of DLG' how many planes he has broken
learning to throw discus style.
