Default Re: RDRC 40% Extra crash

Ouch! Sorry for your mishap. It is part of flying 3D. AT LEAST YOU CAME DOWN AND TRIED! I am not ready yet...but hoping by the end of the season and have my new plane ready before I do try anyway. Like someone said...it is a plane and can be replaced...Try again! I know it is hard if you do not have the hobby $$$...But I try not to let that rule me..but I want to be ready before I do.. Good luck and try again dude!

Yep, I did the same thing. Was a flyin' and then all of a sudden everything was quiet......................... I just stood there looking at my pride and joy, it looked like the model airplane gods took a 40% $hit right in the middle of the runway. Now all of the guys at RDRC knows what that sounds like. I'm still haunted by that sight. Lesson learned....LISTEN TO THE TIMER! But, she's almost back together and will be flying soon. FAT BAS"TURD" will fly again.............
