Thanks for the link NZ, the Corsair looks really great. The different swappable design coming out right now are really awesome. I don't think the battery slipped because it was still actually attached to the velcro strip after the crash. Now that I have thought some about it I think it might have been a combination of wind, too high angle on the hand launch, CG a little off and of course my "special" piloting skills
I got into this hobby in august this year and my only experience before that is some remote controlled cars and some flight sims so I'm basically in way over my head doing this kind of stuff so soon. But I love the challenge and it is so much fun!
Yes, I think you are right, I'll try that on my next attempt.
Weather is both windy and raining today so no flying unfortunately.
