I don't think it's a quads vs. planks issue. It's a Millennial vs. every other generation that's gone before them issue. Most Millennials have no concept of personal responsibility or thought for what can go wrong. It's understandable; they've lived their whole lives in an environment (public education) where they retake tests they fail and get participation trophies for losing. Add to that the helicopter parents who swoop in and keep them from suffering consequences for any of their mistakes and you get today's 20 year olds. They are cheerful, optimistic know it alls who think they can never fail because they are amazing at everything. I've watched these types at the flying field with planks too with about the same results you see with the OP's quad. There was one a couple of years ago having a great time; he wrecked his 3rd plane for the day while I was trying to explain how to avoid tip stalling his plane on takeoff when he gunned the throttle and, you guessed it, tip stalled his plane on takeoff. He was so excited to show his dad the plane pieces after. And dad actually affirmed him for that!
Maybe the OP isn't one of these guys, and I truly hope things turn out ok for his machine. I never like to see people lose their equipment even if it is their fault. But he and other young pilots reading need to understand that you can't take risks like this and just hope for the best. You have to fly smart and learn systematically so that you can ensure things like this don't happen. It's a new skill to learn, but it's a necessary one.
