It's a good thing these are tough birds, huh? By the way - thanks, Idon't feel so bad now.

The remains of the tropical depression have now passed here so Iam going to try again with mine. First I must reprogram/rebind to the DX8, check control throws, check balance on the new prop, reinstall the wing. I'm using the same rubber bands, from the tree crash. I ordered more, but they haven't yet arrived.

One thing I guarantee though, I WILL stay away from trees and barns. Have a good day. Mike.
