Hello flying folks!
As I've seen on the Flite Test Show crashing happens to everybody. But not a lot People seems to talk About it. And yes, it feels like someone hit you in the gut. But you can also gain something out of this experience.
In my oppinion sharing is caring!
So I will beginn and tell you a story:
I've build a Mighty Mini Mustang from a Speed-Build-Kit. But instead of using a Power-Pack, I've used some stuff with more power that was left from other projects. (2200KV/800mah 3S)
It was a wonderfull morning with almost no wind, a perfect day for a first flight. The maiden went realy well, but then the wind became stronger and a little bit gusty. And as a light breeze hit the plane it turned upside down and drilled it's nose into the ground.
And suddenly my heart broke...
The fusilage was broken into pieces and the motor was destroid. But the wing became detachable
Back home I thought about the benefits of a detachable wing. So I've started to repair the cuts at the wing and cut out some parts of the fusilage. ALso I've removed the landing gear.
After a little bit of gluing the Mustang was back in service, looking better than before.
Prop just for photo, I use a two-blade prop for easier Landing
Left with a well flying, detachable beauty at my Workshop, I can give you the advise:
Stay calm and wait for good weather
Best regards
