Looks like we will be dropping in at around 10:30

If your looking for parts for your Apprentice might I suggest Ultimate Hobbies at Parramatta. They sell wings fuses etc. and in stock.

Good point.

Doh!! What happenned to the apprentice?

As Jason says crashes are inevitable unfortunatley especially while learning... actually always... i totalled a perfectly good mirage jet a few weeks ago.

It went into the stand of trees on the western edge of the runway. Wayne had taken off east to west, but the wind changed direction while he was in the air. The wind wasn't too bad, but I did point out that the natural response would be to land in the opposite direction. I suggested a figure 8 turn as he pasted from left to right, which he executed fine, but he got a bit crossed up in the final approach (thanks to my less than stellar guidance).

I expect it will fly again fine, and likely without need for retrimming or even the nessesity of repair... but the wing does look a bit worse for wear.
