Well...it was white knuckle flying at it's best, but it was soooooooo cool. Landed so nice, I didn't even get dirt on it this time.

So did you then throw the L2 against a wall? Stomp on it? Hit it with a hammer so you could rebuild it? You just took it home in one piece??? I'm so confused how does that work?

Congrats Crash, sounds like fun.

Took my L2 out tonight and put it up in 12-18mph winds and it's rated for 5-7mph and guess what happened??? I landed it and took it back in the house the same way I took it out LESS a charged battery.

Finally got the Pro up and running tonight - and after about 1/2 of the battery I smacked it into a chair. Bwahahahahahahaa, I should be mad but I just had to laugh. Made a special stop and bought over priced eflite woody syms so I would have a like new Pro - $19 with tax for about 5 minutes of flight time. Plus I'll bet the main shaft is gone too. No superskids on this one, though I did put a bead on the tail stand, so I was trying to 'pop it up' off of the carpet and got a little carried away. It jumped to the far corner of the room and turned around some when I dumb thumbed it and struck the leg of a wooden chair. Before I destroyed it, I thought it flew surprisingly well for not being completely trimmed out yet. It is much more controlable than the cp but not as jumpy as I expected. It just very much goes where you want it to go. I'll have to start over with flat bottom blades that I already have until I can get some more syms.
