Hi Everyone. I'm new here and to RC flying (1 week). I decided to get my feet wet with an Aerobird Challenger and am having a great time even though I nosed it into the ground from about 60 feet up on my third day out. Actually, I think the wing folded on me in a gust of wind while I was turning; I saw no signs that the wing folded by hitting the ground. Thanks to the great information posted here, I fixed the nose (heating with a blow dryer), zip tied the motor area, and zip tied the control board (the forward mount broke). (repair pictures attached)

Needless to say, I have more repair time than flight time but have learned quite a bit and am looking forward to my next flight to see how the ABC will hold up. Thanks again for all your posted tips!
