Parkzone Vapor breakage
Which parts break most often on Parkzone Vapor? I am about to buy one and considering I've never flown RC planes before I want to make sure I also buy spare parts to save on shipping LOL!

The motor frame/mount breaks if you hit hard ground, like pavement. Other than that I haven't broke anything. You will also want to get some extra props.

I've broken the landing gear off serveral times, but it's always when I fly in my rather small living room and hit a table or something. I broke the elevator off once.

It's really a pretty durable little plane. The biggest problem I have had is the cellophane like wing material breaking away from the frame, but I have just used scotch tape to secure it back to the wing frames. Like I say, it is amazingly durable for such a light little guy!

landing gear, but it breaks so often that I find it is better to repair than replace. I just tie scrap carbon pieces to either side of the break and then CA it in place.
We also seem to snap the rudder off frequently, but that is due to our aggressive cat always pouncing on it after a landing.
