Default RE: Do you have a problem showing your crashes

Just lost a brand new Funtana .50 yesterday! Maiden flight took her up while a fellow club member was flying his heli and while I was putting her through some basic loops rolls ect the engine died. I couldn't hear it over the heli and by the time I relized I had no power she had already stalled and went into a death spiral. Just too low to get the speed up to save her. She was built so light that repair wasn't really an option. We have a pond at our site but luckly I avoided that. Got everything back in good condition except the airframe. Oh well a good friend of mine in the hobby told me when I started "if you never want to crash don't bother flying them." I have no problem sharing my crashes everybody has them and if mine saves someone else a painfull lesson all the better.
