Thanks Paul for the commentary and the post, and to Mike for the video. Sad but true he pulled when he should of pushed, of coarse this has to happen to my newest plane, this was flight #10. He really felt terrible about the whole incident, but we all kept telling him that he didn't do anything that anyone else that flies RC has not already done. No point in getting mad about it, just learn from the mistake. If you are feeling really sorry for him, he will accept donations to fund the replacement! As it stands he won't get an allowance until 2025. There are several parts on the plane that had no damage and are now for sale on the RCU marketplace under Giant Scale. If you need CA parts, we have them at substantial savings over what they change, with more reasonable shipping charges! Needless to say, my new CA 2.6 (no more 2.3 for me) will be here next week and no, Chris will not have his hands on my new plane anytime soon. Don't feel too sorry for him, he can fly either his 30% Carden Extra or my old GP Patty.
