Default model airplanes

I've crashed my share of planes, all but one were ele.......as we say at our club field.......so goes the life of a model airplane.
The following will refer to pic that I will post. Rick (fellow club member) was going to fly his Easy 2 RTF (think that was what it was called) for the last time, pull out electronic equipment, motor, ect & install in another plane. He was flying on ch.36 with his card in the freq. board, another member decided to fly, put his card on ch.38 on the board. Problem was, that radio was on ch.36, turned his plane on...radio on...worked the sticks......figured out he had grabbed the wrong radio... just alittle too late. Just a couple seconds after turning the radio off, Ricks plane was planted into the ground. Rick was right.... it was the last time he was going to fly it.
