it went down this morning 10 seconds after take off , full on vertical nose dive at about 1/2 throttle after a wrong move by me . cold thumbs , ( remember to climb on take off ) till your thumbs warm up till you get your sticks . anyhow testament to the way i built it , the 4mm by 4mm pine spar along the bottom which broke on impact ,, the nose got compressed also and a few bits of depron broke off . . as i had 3 batteries charged and only 10 secongs of flying . home i went , hotmelt glue gun and heat gun out . i was able to heat the depron carefully and quickly and just straighten it all out , as it cools it sets , glue up the cracks , a little re inforcement beeding where it compressed , and wallah !!! 30 minutes later flying again , needed one click of aileron trimming , and the 10 feet inspection one would never know it went down .
there ya go , highly recommend this plane , for cost , build , flying , and repairing . .
