Default Crashed for first time in 8 years :(

It finally got to me my first crash in 8 years of my favorite hobby. I was out at the flying field with my newly bought .46 size profile puting about the 10th flight on it. checked my rx bat. and it said 6.1 which is great but i hadnt charged it in 3 days , it was a nimh bat and i wouldnt expect it to go dead that fast after 3 days without charge. anyways i took off and flew around for about 2 min. after going over the top of a hammerhead it lost my signal and went full throttle down about 70 feet right into the asphalt, smashed into a thousand pieces as i watched my profile go in. everything was killed in the crash except the gas tank, woot. well that was my worst day of the hobby.
