Sunday at the lake Brian and Matt Schymik lost the radio after slapping a bouy and hit a culvert destroying the boat. Today I got this email from Don Brown "Mikey
I think my whip doesn’t like me. I managed to launch it by myself today. The servo change to the digital ¼ scale made all the difference in the control going down the straight. Now I have another problem, I was running it with the new Big Kahouna prop; it was running with as much speed if not more than Saturday. After a few runs and a few adjustments, I took it out for my last run of the day. There were geese between buoy 4 and the CB so I was short coursing it, as I was coming around the clock buoy I lost radio, running wide open and no steering. Unfortunately it hit the bank and ended up across the side walk almost to the street. The nose is completely gone back to the front bulkhead, a hole in the right sponson bottom (I pulled a rock out of it), major damages to the prop and rudder, and it left a two divots in the ground about 18” long and 6” deep. It is fixable but it will take some time.
