Default !!!!!!!!!HEY ED PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi im new to the rcu boards and to electric flight. I have a hobbyzone challenger that I took out for its maiden today. With 7mph winds out today. Well long story short I had one short flight where I landed it far away from me but I really wanted to try again. I'm pretty stubborn.

So I once again launched the plane and off it went well the wind must have picked up. Also someone came up to me and started asking about the plain. So i was having trouble maintaining concentration and before I knew it the plane was far down wind from me. It past the end of the park and over a bunch of condos well I cut the engine and hoped for the best.

I ran after the plane but I couldint find it anywhere. I was crushed. I gave up went home. Then decided to go back out and look for it. Well i must have walked around for 2 or 3 hours but I finally found it on top of some ones trash. Well the wing was snapped but I was just happy to have it back.

I haven't tested it yet but I noticed there is a bit of a bend on the small back wing. The bend is only on the top but I have read that you have a solution for this and that you would post it. Please do. I enjoy reading your advice and upon reading your praise for the challenger I decided to buy one for myself to train on. Thanks
