I really like what you said above and agree completely..

In 34 years of flying and well over 12,000 flights... my crashes are..

1. Pilot error on first ever attempt to fly it alone... (joined a club the next week) 1978
2. Radio interference 1979
3. 1 Helicopter crash - pilot error while practising autorotations and getting cocky - 2010
4. 1 Helicopter crash - selected the incorrect model memory and took off with roll control reversed - 2010
5. 1 Helicopter crash - Servo Failure 2011.

Not a single crash in a fixed wing RC plane in 33 since 1979 years and over 6000 flights.

Rob, your track record is impressive and should give hope to others of what can be accomplished if approached correctly and the type of flyer to look toward for good advice. Excellent statistics.

I have always gleaned great information from your posts!
