I do some instruction once in a while for my club and one time I had an incident of a crash. A student was insisting to fly around dusk and I was trying to talk him out of it as orientation is bad in these situations. He talked me into going out with him but I told him to keep it close. Of course he did not and when he "lost," it he passed the transmitter to me. His plane was just too far away and with the poor lighting I became disoriented myself. Needless to say it went in. I find the impatience of some beginners tough to deal with sometimes and I think I have a reason as to why this is so prevelant.
If this studant would have taken the time to actually build the plane he would have been less likely to be so careless about the way he flew it. Also this ARF had some sort of garuntee about crashing. I know when I began flying, I would have felt very differant about my plane if I did not have to build it. By build the plane I do not mean screw it together either!
