Well, I had my first crash with my LT-40...

I was up with my instructor, and was doing the pattern right to left. As I was making the first bank to the left of me, I noticed the wing started to bounce. As I came out of my bank and started the other one, I found my sticks had no effect. I said "Hey, I have NO control over this!?!?!" My instructor took over... Nothing. As it was directly across from us, it rolled on its right wing and the throttle went to full, and it dove right into the ground. [:@]

We went out and got it... the first time I have ever had to wade the tall grass for it, and we found it. The fuse, starting at the furthest rearward point the wing touches, had disintagrated. The Engine was alright except for the back plate, and the servos all seemed to be fine, except the plastic thing that encircled the connector on the Aileron servo was gone. Some sheeting was busted on the wing, and one wing rib. The antenna was broken off at the receiver, and the landing gear was completly bent. This was my first crash, and as my Papa said, I didn't do it half way

This was in early July (the start of flying season ) and I was about to get my licence

Oh well, I have it ALMOST all repaired, we are going to put in all the servos this week, and hope to be up next week, or the week after.
