Default First crash in hover

Well a couple of days ago I was flying my new OMP 540. There was no wind really so I decided to hover lower than I have been. I was doing pretty good on some other hovers. It started to fall out so gave it full throttle and the correction needed to leave the hover but I didn't get it fast enough. It kept falling and then it hit. The corner of the wing and the front of the fuse went in. I was lucky I was practicing in some nice soft bean feild with the beans out of it. So there was no structural damage, just a whole in the wing which I repaired real quick. That sure is a heck of plane.
