Default RE: How many times do you crash?

Well its hard to say that only crashes with alot of extensive repair it considered a crash. The OMP profiles are some tough birds especially with the fiberglass tube that runs down the fuselage. The two times the motor ripped out would have done alot more damage to some of these full fuselage planes. Just this weekend I was having so much fun that I ran out of gas mid-hover from about ten feet up, the engine quit and the nose dropped straight down, I had a split second to try to pull the nose up and the plane landed at a 45 degree angle on the nose and gear. No damage at all. If that had happened to a full fuselage plane I positive it would have busted up the cowl, broke the landing gear block out, damaged the engine firewall, and possibly damaged the wing if the gear got pushed into it.
