What did you crash today

[Timmy]

I had my first paraglider crash today, it was all my fault, wind dropped off as I was turning and I braked way to hard which caused the wing to stall and down I went into the side of the hill HARD.
Cracked a rib and broke my fibula leg bone.
I won't let this stop me from flying, I just have to stay ground for a few months until I fully heal. View attachment 183562

Ouch! Hope it feels better soon.

Ditto. Feel better soon!

I was ripping along and did a full throttle dive towards myself to come out into a low pass. My elevator servo came unglued and it hit doing at least 80mph! I said last night that I'll probably build another soon and I guess it heard me

Put the servos on top of the wing for the next one

Wasn't pilot error this time though 😂

Agreed! I was gonna do that but messed up tiling of the plans lol

Nah, 40mph tops damage

 

[OliverW]

Nah, 40mph tops damage

It did hit the wet muddy grass first lol. @Grifflyer had his grunjet hit 80 so I imagine that me doing a full throttle dive from around 150' would get it going that fast... the lipo absorbed most of the impact, too

is there a video? was it that orange one with blue and black stripes?

 

[OliverW]

There was no video sadly. It was the yellow one with blue stripes. Its in the typical crop duster scheme. His ESC caught on fire and started pouring smoke out of the turtle deck. We could see flames coming out from around the motor

That would of been fun to see I have only smoked batteries, after ground contact. It is always fun to be walking out to your crashed plane lazily along then start to see the magic smoke rising . Makes you pick up your step a lot.
