RE: Well, it finally happened...
I also crashed my plane. I had the Exceed RC 3 J-3 Piper cub. one of those really cheap beginners planes. I don't think it's repairable either.
It took a nose dive from about 40 feet straight down. All of the elecronics are still good so I can switch them to another plane when I get one.
I hope I have better luck with the next one.
