I don't consider that little post thing A crash. If I can fix it then it was just A hard landing. I have never seen an engine come apart like that!! Ever!! I have seen planes hit the ground dead on the nose at full throttle in the middle of the runway and not do that. Up until this year I haven't crashed A plane in 8 years then I planted A students trainer on maiden, A Nexstar. Then soon after that I really dumped one of my Extras, it was A complete radio signal loss and I now have several RXs put aside to be sent into Radio South for A check up. If someone decides to buy my house in Calif. I will drive out there for A few days. If not then you will have to come here. Planes are fun in the day but I have some fun things to do in the evenings too.[8D]
