You hear about people doing that all the time. I've never understood how it happens so much. They aren't THAT close together. Now that I've said that, just wait! I'll go do it! haha

Well, this may not be the greatest, but it is the end of the TV that was a lot of fun. Dead stick in the weeds today. Did lot look as if the landing was as hard as the damage it caused.

the wings are still in the tree..

the tree is in new jersey...

the crash was 2 years ago...

the story: Was doing some violent snaps, never really tried them before... So.. i never thought about putting safety connectors on the battery...

the battery is in front of the plane, we found it laying at the bottom of the tree, with teh plane 50 feet up... it disconnected in flight, locked out, and went full throttle full speed into the tree, shearing the wings off

This is what happens when you strain your pattern plane thru a tree. . .

At least the wings were still useable!!
