Default Banged the cub......

Oh I hurt my Cub today . I had lost one landing gear and said to myself I will just land in the bean field. Wrong!! Now I don't have much stick time but have flown the Cub a few times with the instructor and then by myself. Well the beans grabbed the remaining landing gear and threw the plane nose down. Busted the cowl and windshield and knocked the motor loose. So I guess now I will go to the crash and rebuild forum. I really enjoy reading the answer to many of the post and I have learned alot. Thanks for that.

remember when you go flying take a kid with you.

Sorry to hear about your crash . That always sucks! Look at it this way, you have now passed one of the biggest milestones in your R/C Airplane career, the crash and burn! Take it in stride, and learn from your mistakes. That is the best you can do.

Corn fields are another deceiving landing site. Unfortunately, the corn can be razor sharp (ever picked corn? it's terrible!). Sorry to hear about your loss, it can be enough to make you sick but at least it's fixable. I look forward to seeing your rebuild thread!

the corn can be razor sharp
Not to mention if you were to clip an ear of corn with a wing or the tail feathers it would destroy them.

BTW sorry to hear bout your plane I dread the day I lose my first one. But as they say they all have expiration date. Good luck with the rebuild.
