How could smoke pump cause interference? I wouldn't use smoke pumps if that is possible?

Well at least the radio still looks like it's in good shape.

Most of these people have reset buttons on their flying machines, it's called sponsorship!

Or they are RC Shop owners.

Your a lucky guy in that crash though im very sorry for the lost of the airframe and probably someservos and some other stuff but the expensive part looked untouched the turbine. The damage to the aircraft stopped right before the turbine. Saves a lot of money right there.

Sorry for the loss. That was one great looking and flying plane. I had a 1/4 Cub get damaged because of a bad switch, so now I have installed redundancy of double switches and flight packs in all of my large scale planes.
