My poor Eluminator took a nose in today. Conditions were a bit windy, and silly me I left the transmitter on low rates. Making a downwind turn on the base leg she turned nose down, and I didn't have enough elevon throw to bring it back up in time.
The depron is fairly crunched in top and bottom, no obvious problems with the electrical components. The weird thing is this long stem of grass that looks cut by the prop and penetrated the top of the wing, but didn't go all the way through the bottom. Looks sort of like natures' own antenna sticking out.

I rarely leave the field without some sort of damage. I fly when it's too windy, I fly homemade planes, I fly planes with a lot of repairs, and I fly like foam is cheap!!!!........but I FLY!
