The first RC bird I built was a Trainer 60. It had 2 left wings at one point. I got into more stuff with that bird... turned right into a tree one day because I thought I was going to be too close during a right hand approach. It finally died when I entered one of those slam all the sticks around maneuvers and an aileron departed the airplane. By the time I figured out I was in trouble, it was way too late because I was still at full throttle. OOPS!
