Default Crashed again :-(

I crashed my poor Eco-8 again. Was flying nose in realtively low (10 feet up or so), went turn it around (back to tail in) and it got away from me .

The crash looked quite bad, but surprisingly, not all that much got messed up. The main shaft is bent (fixable), the landing gear broke, main gear is a little chewed up but I think it is still usable (about 5 teeth got the tips knocked off), and one of the little balls broke off of the swashplate.

I'm mad at it so it's just have to stay broke for a while [sm=punching.gif]

Seriously though, It's just gonna have to stay down untill I can afford the aluminum swash plate. I'm not gonna waste my money on a new plastic one.
