The planes put on show are so old, despite probably being maintained well and parts updated, but again they are old and they can only take so much, I believe the pilot was in his 70s too, and he races these things too. They dont know what caused the crash as yet but you never know he may have had a heart attack while flying, and its not actually be a mechanical fault.
anyway update later ( on the model)

What I am more concerned about is that it is perhaps not the best idea to have 74 year old pilots flying highly modified aircraft at speed in excess of 500 mph at 30 feet above the ground and pulling significant g's in the turns!
I have gone to several reno air races and in the final heats the aircraft regularly have a climb to avoid running into power lines about 25 feet above the ground and go well inside the 500 feet buffer required by the FAA between the planes and people on the ground. Also, that 500 feet buffer is questionable when aircraft are moving in excess of 730 ft per second!
EDIT: All indications so far are pointing to a mechanical failure but I still wonder if it is wise to have people of such advanced age piloting these kinds of planes. It is much easier to keep a plane in like new condition for 70 years then a human.

Yeah but I wish they'd have stuck to one design LOL. the front part of the canopy is either rounded between the glass or flat. No one of these is consistent in all the refs I have LOL - only the color LOL - Silver!!

Well after the fantastic time I had on the Alien Modelling, Texturing and Rigging series, its now time to get back to my personal stuff.
Finished the exterior cockpit framework for now, may add a rear view mirror toward the end of the modelling. I'm head off to the propeller now then going to work back toward the exhausts then wings and so on....
Have put in a tail plane block for now too
cheers
