patzane ,
Good thing it happened on the ground! Easy fix.

About two weeks ago I had mine out was flying having a good time and then....Deadstick....it landed right side up, hard, on the entry road to my field. The whole front end on into the fuse cracked off. As luck would have it the break points were where the fuse knotches together. so it took a little time to get everything back is place, but is probably stronger than ever. There's a plus for the aluminum landing gear. No damage, fiberglass or carbon fiber would have shattered on this one.
