In the spirit of flying as hard as you can I thrashed my TT today! Crash number 1: did not check my CRAP. Alerons has become disconnected and I realized this shortly before hitting the deck in a small crash.

I came out here to fly! And that’s what I’m gonna do! 🤨Luckily, I found the emergency duct tape in the glove box .🤘

Beautiful! And more importantly, it’s all making “go” sounds and movements. Better check the CRAP, not making that mistake again...

This is a sea worthy plane🛬🌊, right?🤔
At this point I have given my phone to my two year old and I’m taking off my shoes. It drifted into about waist deep water. Not too cold if your interested🥶. I took out the electronics and gave them a big rinse at the car and at home.

I’m letting things air out before I test the parts again. I was surprised to see that the servos looked dry inside so I’m happy about that too. I’m in the middle of a new build rn so I wont start on another TT yet.
Despite my flying it repeatedly into the ground, buildings and once, a BBQ pit, the TT has been an absolute champ! For me to learn and sustain new aerobatics with a plane who’s fuselage has been severely compromised is just plain cool. Don’t be afraid to fly! My session ended in a splash but I learned a lot! You will too!
