Default RE: Planes that won't die

I flew it this weekend... into the fence. [:@] I took off for my second flight, and my rudder linkage slipped on the control horn, creating tons of fake rudder input. I was having a hard time turning it around to land into the wind, and watched the plane too much and my surroundings to little. When it hit the fence, it snapped the propshaft, removed the gorrila-glued wing, and snapped one of my side force genarators. I used 5-min epoxy to put it back together and used the second set of side force genarators instead of trying to repair the first. On a positie note, It flew nice and rock solid in the slight breeze I was encountering.
