Damage Report:

Main Blades
Canopy
Flybar
Main Shaft
Feathering Shaft
Tail Boom
Servo Gear Set for a HS65

About $60 worth of repairs as I have only a flybar in the parts drawer.  I'm stunned the main gear didn't stip as I tried to recover and didn't hit throttle hold till she hit the ground. One thing for sure is I'm tired of the flimsy E-Flite canopy, it breaks fronm just the slightes bump. Also, since it went in inverted, I did not break the landing skids or the tab on the fram tehy attach too. That certainly helps keep the repair cost down.

Still thinking on what to do... I've wanted a metal head/tail for awhile and the V2 clones are cheap enough. May need to sleep on it.
