How do you deal with your crashes where a plane you really like gets totalled???!!!
I have never crashed one during the first flight or early test flight stages . But I have certainly crashed a few. The loss is unplanned but unless I am either out of planes or out of money, it's a no worries situation. It is an opportunity to fill the new void in the hangar.
The only thing I do at the crash site is possibly take a few seconds to discover what may have happened. I like the idea of burning the remains with the fuel left in the tank.
At our field we did have a bit of an airplane graveyard at one time. Bury the tail section nose first. These tail sets would stay in the grave yard for the season
