Glider from 500ft


Glider vs ground... Ground wins. Tho surprisingly very little damage.

The glider spiralled straight into the ground from 500ft up straight into the ground, sadly caused be interference from another pilot using the same frequency. This is unfortunately one of the risks with model aircraft, and a gentleman's rule applies that no one is at fault. However in Germany insurance allows for a claim in the case of interference caused by another pilot. So given time to process the claim it will all be fixed free of charge!


Edit - The pilot was retrieved safely and is being treated for a broken leg and whiplash :-)
