Jimmy Gibson was flying his .46 Stick when he got into an impromptu "pylon race" around the field with about four other planes.  Joseph Patterson's plane started to flutter and then all the Monokote on the bottom of half of the wing ripped off.  Joseph managed to land his plane but Jimmy was watching him and his stick flew straight down the runway and hit at a few degrees down attitude.  The motor, landing gear, and tail were ripped off, but it is an easy fix.  Jimmy said "Oh yeah, this one will fly again."
