I had a mid-air 2 weekends ago and it was the first for me in over 40 years of RC. My 35% Yak was impacted out at the end of the left wing tip, took out a piece of the LE and took most of the covering off of the top and bottom of the wing. The other plane, a smaller profile was impacted on the top side of the fuse just behind the motor. I came and landed, the other plane was not so lucky. Both planes were new. I did a quick cover job with vinyl and went back flying. The other plane went home in pieces.
