It was a pretty windy day and I was flying my Fidget which some of you may know I crashed quite a while ago, this was my first crash, and now I have crashed it a bit worse this time, however, thanks to the fact that it's made of EPP the snapped and removed from mount wing as well as bent fuselage (the spar also bent somehow) can be fixed. Anny way, to the way I crashed it:
I decided to try a new high speed low level maneuver which involves a sharp 180 turn after a longish speed up run which is then backtracked, now I had done this a couple of times before-but not in windy conditions- the run up went better than expected, almost hitting the long grass I pulled up to about a meter of the ground and started the turn but midway through the turn a gust hit my polly dihedral and I didn't have enough height to recover.
We just got some awesome aircraft from a friend of ours including a Sky Hawk, a little free fly (I don't know what it's called), a striker and a BAE Hawk! hopefully they don't end up in pieces.
