speaking about destroying an airplane. I had a tree jump in front of my plane and it broke wing for the tenth time and the fuselage for 5th time and the first thoughts that went through my mind were hey I have a plane without engine and radio gear sitting on my bench I don't have to order anything new for it. Flew it the next morning, what a sickness. I even left some of the cable screw down connectors from the old plane stay on the new plane, easier to find spare parts that way, you know ez connectors. it was amazing the plane was dead but the engine was still running in the tree, I had to kill the engine from the transmitter so I knew every part was still good
