Until you fly a well built one, you have no idea how great they fly. Until you crash one you can have no idea how tough coro is. *chants* SPAD,SPAD,SPAD !!

I have a spad stick, looks just like the H9 UltraStick until you get close enough to see the flutes. It is a great flying thing. really easy to build/repair.

I lawn darted mine once, I failed to do a preflight check, the battery pack had broken loose. In a dive it plopped forward and unplugged, full throttle into the dirt about 30 ft in front of me. SMASH!!

I had to replace the motor mount and straighten out some control rods. Had to glue in some formers that were shocked loose. Was flying again in 30 minutes Most of that time was spent with others cleaning dirt out of the engine while I repaired the airframe.
