I've hardly had any fixed wing airtime since I started the process of obtaining my PFAW for commercial multi rotor operation. I have planes sat in the garage that aren't getting used. So I decided today to take my Durafly Retro Junior out for a spin. I took off OK, was doing circuits and figures of 8, nothing fancy. Just to get a feel of the controller and plane again. Then about 15 minutes into the flight I decided to do a low pass. I got myself lined up great and all was well. That was until I went too low and the landing gear snagged the top of a bush. The force ripped the landing gear off and sent the plane into an unrecoverable nose dive. So I ended up with the landing gear yanked off, a broken prop and also the tail wing came off, but with no damage to it. All fixable with glue and a replacement prop. All for trying to be clever!
