Crashed my Nextstar also, ran out of fuel on a low fly by. I hesitated on turning the plane around and ended up with it in the top of a tree. Hearing it hit, I though it would have been destroyed. Took awhile to locate in the woods, but to my surprise, it was in one piece.

Then the task was getting it down. That did more damage then the crash it self. Pulled the plane apart at the field and found almost no damage bedsides the tank slid back from the fall from the tree. Pushed it back in place and was ready to go. So, up I went again, but shortly after the plane seemed to become a handful for me, so I landed and called it a day.

When I got home I pulled the hole plane apart to check for additional damage and found very little (pin holes from the spruce tree). But the tank slide back again and I think this is what made the plane hard to fly. The tank is just a little loose, so I am going to come up with something to keep it tight.
