Um...


I pulled a Dumb***** move and crunched my UCD on the ground. Flew about 1/3 of a gallon...had fun all morning. The field was completely empty, all mine. After the last flight, I decided to taxi into the pits...a no-no, especially if there were any others there. .....(anyone see where this is going?)


As the plane was stopped, at idle, I trimmed the throttle all the way down to kill the engine. Instantly, the plane went full-throttle into a table and broke in half. I looked down at my TX and realized that I had inadvertently hit the power switch and turned it off when I 'killed' the engine. The servos were all twitching and the plane is repairable, but I don't think I want to invest the time right now. I will fix it in the Fall. (I have more ARF's and engines than time right now).


Stupid...stupid ....STOOOOPID!!

Lesson learned...NEVER taxi into the pits even when the field is empty. I will be programming a throttle-kill into the radio on the next one for sure. Thank God nobody else was there....coulda been a mean ankle-biter.

Anyone wanna buy a UCD .46 with a broken fuselage??
