its funny that when someone crashes his plane, and isn't tore up about it, the answer is basicly this - you should have built one that would have tore up.
I have to agree that a wooden plane would probably be toast after such a hit... but sometimes the spad community seems to think they invented the hot water...
I guess its just wrong to be excited about being able to build a plane in a couple of hours, thats tough as nails, is easy to repair, and costs a fraction what a balsa plane does. Wait a minute, it sounds like that we might be having FUN! Is that so wrong?
