Wow, today I went against my better judgement, and blendered my poor turmoil, I could hear it creak from all the way across the field... not only did it creak, but one of my SFG got messed up, which caused a crash into the weeds, which messed up an aileron. It took all of 30 seconds to fix it all, and it was about the end of the battery anyways. I can say it'll be awhile before I try that again, although it dranoed quite nicely... I got a second pack in today because my friend just got a new plane, he's a complete newbie, so he bought a Firebird Freedom. That thing is pretty stout; I can't tell you how many times I winced thinking it was surely done for. At the end of the day the only real damage turned out to be a bent wing, he still wanted to fly, so I grabbed some duck tape and a stick, and it friggin' worked! It was hysterical, but it worked I tell you. Not only that but he left it on when he put it away too, lol. So, word of advice, if you blender a flatout, you may want to make sure to keep the dive really short!
