Hey rtn9105,

Looks like your elevators weathered that "hard landing" just fine! Just get out the glue and.... OK, maybe the glue won't be quite enough, but...as they said, you did it right! No half-assed crashes around here! Sorry about your "Do"! It will be a sad day when mine meets the same fate. I am however delighted to hear how well it has served you over the years, it did pretty good for some balsa slivers, glue and covering! The only advice I would give is not to beat yourself up over the crystal, it might have been "let go" in the crash and something else may have brought it down. Get you another one and fly it for 3 more years! There's always something lurking around, waiting to do in our toys. Plus, in the end, as you (amongst others, of course) have again demonstrated something for all of us in the thread.... Gravity, it's the law!

"Can you do that again?"
