Sorry to hear about your mid-air. It's always a heartbreaker to lose a plane. Sounds like Hobbico is treating you right, though. We have a tradition at my club that we take a picture of the plane and the pilot/builder just before the maiden. We call it the "goodbye shot". My instructor explained that "this may be the last time you see that model in one piece so say goodbye." I have a couple models I remember that way.
