At WC F3J in 2002 a Japanese plane cought some powerlines during practice flying
Check "day 3" http://www.f3x.no/f3j/2002/ (yes a long way down)
Oh BTW I REALLY appreciate all the help I get for my trip to Nats.
Gordy knows who that have contributed with cash and stuff so I dont know all the names or amounts yet. Hopefully it will pay some of the airline ticket!
But anyhow it looks like I will be picked up by Gordy, spend some quality time with Robert Burson that had a hotel room, my F3J team are Don Richmond, Larry Ruble and Rob Glover, I will bring F3J and TD planes myself while Gordy have a 2m and Barry Kennedy supplies a RES AVA, Horizon Hobbies sent me a JR9303 and Rx's (seems to work fine even in thunderstorms)
Probably forgot someone allready but I can assure you I will make a full update on the web from the Nats ;-)

Subject: Re: [RCSE] Receiver Malfunctions after Contact with Power Lines
Essentially this should be adequate evidence that TX settings subject to EMI/RFI are not immune to changing paramters.
It's worth pointing out that those who were (physically) near the powerline
incident, the same energy thay may have adversely affected their RX's leaves
the TX's open to scrutiny as well. Again, the extraneous energy itself and the
direction it travels is, well, hard to predict. Funny thing about
passives/active components, they can be (electrically) compromised and continue
to function for a period of time...only to fail at some later date.
