Mick,

I am sorry for your loss.
But if you fly, you will crash your model occasionally.

It even happens to the best of fliers.

My previous model crashed in a 'hidden stump' incident. After the engine was intentionally shut-off, a car came on the runway and the landing was forced in some grass, but there was an electric pole anchor hidden there...

You still have the ability to build a new model.

About two months ago, a 12 year old boy died here, after being hit in the head by carbon-fiber blades of an R/C helicopter's rotor... He suffered massive brain damage and died a week later, after all his body's systems shut down. BAD; very bad.
