I went out this morning with a small 48 inch wing span S P A D plane that I had built to fly when the wind is to strong for balsa. That and I like to try new stuff with the spad's first. Well anyway this morning I took off and flew around a while. I did a loop and tried to keep it upside down out of the loop, but it wanted to keep going down. Well instead of pulling out of the loop my thumbs got stupid and didn't know what to do so the plane looked like a yard dart[X(] thankfully it wasn't balsa so I wasn't out there picking up a bounch of splinters. The plane was destroyed. (about $10 worth) so no big deal. the only damage is the needle valve broke off the back plate of the engine. it looks like a clean break and maybe could be JB welded back on. Not sure what a new one cost I'm sure its not much. I knew it would happen to me so enough I'm just glad it was with a spad...
