Was yours on the board? If it was I would not be so cool. This should not 
ever happen, especially with a frequency control board!!! How did his get 
removed, did it ever get attached to the board, how will we ever know or is 
that just an excuse for not accepting responsibility?

We fun and practice fly at a field that does not allow us to have permanent 
structures, thus no structured frequency control boards. An incident 
occurred this last week where a long time club member and ex-safety officer 
turned on with out knowing who was in the air. The offended pilot was 
knowledgeable enough to know he had an issue. He announced his problem and 
the person on the ground turned off quickly enough for the man in the air to 
recover control. I was very perturbed that these guys that fly together on a 
daily basis had become so lax.

I sold that airplane to the offended pilot and he just prior to that had 
told me I did him a favor. It isn't pretty and no where near the caliber of 
a Sharon. But, guys frequency control is not something to take lightly. $150 
or $3,000, five pound objects traveling at potential speeds in excess of 100 
MPH are not trivial particularly when uncontrolled.

Looking for 1 in mint condition RTF or not is ok...

Totaled mine today right after the zoom as another pilot was on the same
channel, but as he said... Someone must have removed his frequency pin from
the board. It happens...

Anyway Let me know what you got.. I will have pictures posted on RCGroups to
see the carnage. Thanks.
