ROBBIE SKIPTON THE OWNER / BUILDER GAVE US FULL PERMISSION TO UPLOAD THIS VIDEO,

ROBBIE KINDLY SENT THIS COMMENT OVER ON THE REASON OF THE CRASH -

" Well as you know Dad and I are quite anal about our preparation. but on this occasion a £6 spark plug let me down. you just don't expect one to unwind itself still on the plug cap and hanging there out of the engine. I hadn't had any warning or any problems up to that point. Flight was all OK then all of a sudden i lost all power no real options as i was going down wind. She began to stall so flew away from crowd line, I tried to turn it well the other side of runway to land but in she came. Quite a bang. No damage to prop, engine or electronics on inspection only the plug hanging out on ht cable. But air frame is in a skip. I have to be pragmatic, i've had a good run for 6 years without loss, it had to happen sometime. The engine will be hanging on another Bipe by Christmas. Thank you for all support shown today it was very humbling."

NOT A GOOD ENDING FOR SUCH AN AWESOME SHOW CIRCUIT MODEL !
ROBBIE SKIPTONS MASSIVE 68% SCALE PITTS CHALLENGER DIVED INTO THE GROUND AFTER THE ENGINE LOST POWER DURING HIS FLYING ROUTINE,
HE LATER DISCOVERED THAT A SPARK PLUG IN ONE OF THE REAR CYLINDERS (FLAT FOUR 420cc) HAD COME UNSCREWED FOR WHATEVER REASON CAUSING THE LACK OF POWER !
UNFORTUNATELY ROBBIE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH HEIGHT TO RECOVER FROM WITH THE RESULTING IMPACT,

THIS MODEL WAS DESIGNED AND BUILT BY ROBBIE AND HIS FATHER THEMSELVES,
ROBBIE SAID THE ENGINE SURVIVED INTACT AND MOST OF THE RADIO GEAR LOOKED FINE (SUBSEQUENT TO A PROPER INSPECTION) BUT OBVIOUSLY THE AIR FRAME WAS WRITTEN OFF - WHICH ENDED UP IN A SKIP - CHECK OUT CRASH PICS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO,
EVEN THE EXPENSIVE PROPELLER SURVIVED,
