wow finally saw the video, OUCH!

Link

it looks likes a gust of wind hit it, or the pilot lost radio contact with the plane. Sucks balls to say the least. Looks like a lilliputian plane crash :evil:

No. Heres what happened: the builder saved some money and used only one large fuel pump per wing as opposed to 4 or even 2 smaller ones.

The right fuel pump failed so all the engines on teh right wing died. There was no hope for a recovery.

Sucks, 10's of thousands of dollars in damages. It was cool while it lasted. I wonder if it was insured . . . ?
