 |  When Things Turn to Sh*t - Take a Break
Yes. When you loose your entire inventory of aircraft on one day (7 to be exact), It's time to take a break from the hobby to recouperate my losses.     I'll hopefully (if all goes to plan) be back in force by November, ready to prepare for the Nats. Until then, Safe flying and happy landings everyone! P.S. when you crash one model, stop, don't fly the rest hoping for a happy flight to ease the pain

Holy cow! And I thought I was having a bad year so far. Yikes! 7 damm! There has to be a common element for 7 all in one day. I crashed three this year, and all were for very different reasons. One was a midair, My 33%. That one hurt. Another was dumb thumb, and the third was a bungee malfunction. YA, we lose models in this hobby, but sometimes its really sucks! Ampeater, you definitly had a bad day. YA, take a break.

I agree. I have been at the race track when something after something after something. I am not a quitter, but I believe in quit while you are ahead... sorry to hear of your losses.
