No, I realized how flimsy the original foam ones were so I fitted 30mm Balsa elevons with hinges. At the time of the crash I was flying straight down and trying to give up elevator to loop it around towards me but it wouldn't respond. Possibly I was disorientated because I then found the plane nose into the soft earth facing the other way.? Also, Not sure what fail safe I had set up (never checked it) so if I did lose Radio link was it still under power in the dive as it seemed to hit hard - even the soft ground caused major damage.
For $40 I'll get another airframe when it comes into stock. I may still try to get this one flyable (it wont be a pretty plane) without spending too much time on it, just to have a practice plane that I can fly (like it's stolen!)
