What did you crash today?

[The Fopster]

My scratch built simple EDF was flying brilliantly yesterday - until it wasn’t. Flying a small, fast and unpainted model against a dark stormy sky resulted in a total loss of orientation at distance. Went in vertically and HARD. Amazingly the nose absorbed all the impact forces and this morning I was able to hot glue it all back together!

Crashed my very beat up simple scout today while inverted. It didn't have quite enough elevator throws for that 😞

i'm sorry to hear that

That Corsair can certainly take a whack, will it be back up in the air soon?

Shame about the F-16, looked like it flew really well until the inverted bit. No idea what happened to it there. I did have this bi-plane that was a bit funny inverted ‘cause it was really bottom-heavy, maybe it’s a weight thing.

Optima used to make Incredibly good batteries. This one in my truck just crashed and died after 11 years.

>sigh< lucky to get 5 years out of their newer ones.

With all my ranch vehicles and equipment, dead batteries and flat tires are the bane of my existence...

I saw how slowly my Ben Harber F-16 could fly this morning...until it couldn't. Probably a 100 foot drop straight down into the field; the nose cone even left a nice little perfect hole in the muddy field.

I plan on upcycling the EDF/ESC towards a FT F-18, but they've been on backorder in the store for a while. Hurry, Flite Test! I need my fix of foamboard.

My hope I’d that the Corsair will be back in the air soon. I’m pretty busy right now with my college class but that should end here in a couple weeks. Yea the f-16 is a great flyer and I think it could fly in vetted if I gave it less up trim and more throttle.

After this accident, I stopped making models with a flat wing- only with a flat-convex profile.

My ft arrow suffered from a rapid unplanned disassembly today and it ripped in half at full throttle. Found most of the electronics.
