Wow....
I did that on my GP reactor .46 size, after the glow engine decided to quit at a very in-opertune
time. I didn't judge the wind, as it was stronger than I had thought, and I wasn't calm enough to trust myself to take my
eyes off the plane and hit the switch to HIGH rates and ran out of elevator..Pancake city!

Folded the gear AND THE MAIN WING TUBE, AND
the whole gear mount, and ripped out the rudder...

That EF plane must be engineered very well!....As I don't think the 1.60 size GP models have
faired as well as the EF...or so I have read....

I have had MANY Great planes and Topflite planes so I am looking forward to trying something else.

I know the zdz40f3a and a cf pipe will be a fantastic combo...
