While showing off for a friend who is a private pilot (He also taght me to fly full scale but I dont have a license lol) I was hovering and rolling and looping at about twenty feet when the high rates flipped me 1/2 a revolution too many and it went in WOT. But when I reached it it only suffered a sheared off aileron, a crack in the fuse 1/4 the diameter, not bad, and of course completely destroyed prop and cowl. Oh, and the batt came through the canopy too. No damage to gearbox or motor except dirt. Made a huge divot! This is my third crash and only 1 w damage after about thirty flights. The other couple times I planted it or cartwheeled it doing stupid **** too low. One time I was hovering at twenty feet and it fell onto its top. In my efforts to get it vertical it went into an inverted flat descending spin. Kind of mesmerized watching it slowly fall spinning in one place and then OH ****! I realized I would have to recover looping downward and by then I was too low. But no damage so [img][/img]anyway this plane seems pretty durable to me and I love flying and even crashing it!
