Mini Funtana No More
Here is another depressing crash story. I was excited to get my Mini Funtana in the air, for it had not been flown in about 4 months. I plugged in the battery, and checked everything WAY too fast. I just checked to see if everything moved. I didn't even think that the ailerons could be reversed. I had all my electrics on a Futaba 6EXA Computer Radio. I had figured that everything stayed the same. I put her on the ground, and I took off. It banked a little to the left, so I gave right aileron. REVERSED AILERONS!!! It turned even more left, so I gave left aileron, which leveled it. I didn't have enough runway to land it, so I inputed right ail., which turned it left. I wanted to turn right, but I turned it the other way too much and it just went SPLAT!!!! It all happened so fast. 
That was one of my favorite electrics. Now all of it's guts are going into an E-Flite Edge 540 that my friend gave to me. Until I get another MF, the Edge will have to do. I will show a picture of the before crash. I will provide a picture of the after-crash a little later.

RE: Mini Funtana No More
Yeah, here they are. This was the only piece that was unsalvageable. The rest was saved and will be extra parts for my next MF.
