Well, my RC B-58 Hustler flew and she flew great!...until she didn't.😔 Putting this video together is probably one of the hardest ones I've done to date. Join me and find out what what happened and how the maiden flight ended. I will revisit this one again, it is just too darn cool of an airplane not to! But for now, it's time to move on to the next build. A big thank you to Brian Smith for helping video and John Pryor, his son, and everyone at the airport for their search and rescue operations!
