RE: Crash
It's like sking. If you're not falling down you're probably not trying new things and expanding your skills. Bummer it had to be avoiding a mid-air. I lost my beloved stik in my only mid-air. Took the wing off 200 ft up at full throttle. Itty bitty pieces (even the engine was shattered into pieces as it hit a rock!)
I look at it that if I can salvage the engine, receiver & battery and hopefully the servos (though I disassemble them to check for broken teeth in the gears) I am satisfied with my luck. Think of it as an excellent opportunity to try new airframes without needing additional storage space.
