Default Define "Crash"

I lost the wing of my fun fly due to a collision with the rear seat of a dodge durango. Funny story really. Making room for an 86" scratch built fly baby, put the seat down with the fun fly wing in front of it (seat of course moves forward.) Guy who I bought the plane from (builder/flyer for more than 10 years) said he had never heard balsa crunch like that before.

Easy Fly 40-great trainer-no fiberglass to hold the wings together. Left stayed on, right half became a whirly gig and compost.

Startduster .40-Dead stick landing in tight field. Skipped across the road on the springy gear hitting a steel building, Saito .50 GK first.

Not bad for 6 months of flying, eh?
