Re: Another fatal DA2 crash

Horrible. My thoughts go out to the families. As Dave says, it looks like a flat crash attitude. Moreover, it may have been with no forward speed because -if I'm not mistaken- these metal posts behind the wings are from the vines, and they seem have not even be touched, nor the terrain behind the ai...

Re: Centurion 2.0S Engine

Re: Need new Centurion engines... 2.0 or 2.0s?

Re: Need new Centurion engines... 2.0 or 2.0s?
