beating the fun cubs to death.

1. jon clears the jump, although with some prop strikes. note the prop piece stuck in the cowl. that's from another night.

2. joe breaks an already bent prop shaft. note the prop and adaptor spinning away over the right wing tip. Joe was heard whining about the poor quality of "xxx" motors. ;D ;D

based on this picture, the darn landing gear is no good either. ;D ;D
