I have a hard time believing that 10% of the people in this poll have NEVER crashed!!!!
[X(]

We need a follow up poll because I'm guessing these people fall into one the following categories.
I've been flying for 30 years, in that time I've "lost" one airplane due to a battery failure (it was a glider, it landed in a tree and I carefully retrieved it, no big deal so I'm not really counting that). I've flown helicopters, gliders, sport, pattern, and scale - haven't broken anything beyond a prop or two yet.

if your like me you ve had a billion near crashes thow right

i fly my funtana like mad and like last weekend in 30 plus mph wind backward rolling harriers 10 foot off the deck cross your fingers knock on wood no crashes i know its comming thow

ow i just remembered i landed inverted doing a rudder drag with the funtana 40 no dmg fueled it back up and flew more so i dont know if you would call it a crash i did get some asphalt scapes on the cowl and canopy and rudder
