I've Crashed Mostly doing 3D manuvers.It's just how we pilots learn i guess. How many times and how have you crashed?

So what is the definition of a "crash"?

Dorked with no damage?

Dorked with minor damage that can be repaired at the field?

Dorked with damage that is fixable, but can't be repaired at the field?

Splattered with absolutely no hope of repair?

I put down the 41+. If I counted dorkings with no damage. It probably would be in the hundreds.

All crashes

Usually once per plane - sometimes two or three times for the tough ones.......

I'm with McDDD here: I've got some of each of those categories! Mostly the "dorked with no or little damage", but also some "splattered" lol. Hell, I dorked my Sabre 35 twice into the grass at the park yesterday...

Wouldnt it be nice to have the ground as all pillows? (Except for the runway)

Ive only crashed twice in 60 years of flying but planes have often.

I think it might be easier to count the number times I have not crashed.

That depends what the definition of CRASH is !

I have had some test flights that were so crazy that just breaking the landing gear out would be considered a GIFT !!! hahahahha

so if we are talking bag material crashs,put me down on the heavy side of 41+!!
how can you be in this hobby to have fun and not have some real good ones,the more you fly the more your chances just go up.
i just figure that every time i see the wheels leave the ground,it could be the last i see that plane,and that just removes all the stress.

I wonder if this should be relative to the number of flights one has had. Some don't fly much and others fly much. If a person crashes 1-3 times per 500 flights or 10 times in 50 flights makes it more relative and also, depending on the style of flying.

3x's so far not including "Deadsticks." I try not to be too confident.









I since bought another Seagull .90 Extra 260 about a month ago, and put in a O.S FS1.20 (before Surpass) instead of using the same O.S .91FX. So now if I crash there will be more smaller pieces to pick up.

I only count crashes as a flight ending with the plane landing itself.

Add one more to my list, just parked my Goldberg Wild Stik in the top of a 50' tree. Broken prop and mashed in leading edge of left wing. Trying to find another wing, otherwise will tear down and rebuild wing.

In the past approximately 500 flights about 5 or 6 times and all were repairable with only one taking about 3 hours. The rest about an hour repair or less.

Happy flying [8D]

I picked 6-10 cause I only counted the times I have destroyed a model. I didn't count repairable damage as I do not consider that a crash, more of a mishap or incident.

If you count helis and planes, it's gets a little crazy, just a few that have photographic reminders

41+

Don't even ask about how many times on the sim!

Crashing, hmmm, such as in "bragging", "reflecting " or "sulking"..?

Cheers

It's reallyn hard for me to say but I've been flying since the wright brothers, I don't crash as much as I use to.
But when I got My MX I bent the landing gear numerous times and put her in the top of a tree. I guess my worse crash this year was my twist. I was working on my hovers down good and low, and o yeah my GWS tigermoth 400. I stalled her flying around at eye level good an slow.
So thats 2 so far this year.

Now I've been told that there are only 2 kinds of airplanes. Those that have crashed and those that are going to crash.
