Sorry to hear about your crash....The Hornet can take a lot of beating. I have flown mine in to a floor lamp,and the paint on the lamp chipped of,but the rotorblades remained undamaged. I saw one guy hovering his Hornet on a indoor meeting.Suddenly a electric plane crashed into it.The planes wings were cut in half. The Hornet flew again 5 minutes later.

Godd luck on rebuild

The Picolo is quite strong too. My dads 'copter had an argument with the glass front on our fireplace. The picollo won. Mums face was really quite amusing as i recall!
