Carnage

I had a little mishap a couple weeks ago.... Planes and trees don't play well together!

At least I didn't break the prop! So I promptly ordered a GP Giant Big Stick and a DLE35RA to replace it!

I like the way you re-assembled it like the NTSB does in a real plane crash. Sorry about your mishap......but.......the up side is a good excuse to get something new and different. There should be a law that trees are forbidden to reach out and grab our planes!

This was the old hangar 9 wasn't it? That thing flew good...

It was and I flew the heck out of that thing. It was a good flying stick for sure.

Please do it won't hurt my feelings. I have decided I have one prop left for that motor so I'm going to make one epic round 2 video and put that plane back in the air. Just gonna mechanically make the short wing aileron have some down trim on it so it is producing some lift. Should be fun.

Maybe an 'oh no!' button.

Always hate adding to this thread ....but a turkey came to roost in my back field on Thanksgiving Day!!! Turns out my 42% Raven is just a bit too big for the flying area here. The left wingtip snagged the very top of a taller tree and yawed it into this one. With a longer ladder and some rope we did manage to get it down without any more damage.

Good news is the fuse was basically undamaged. But both wings, ailerons and one elevator need some repairs. Also, a few servos need some overhauling. I was really lucky it wasn't destroyed.

Nice save. My experience with trees is that most of the damage occurs during the retrieval process. The worst is when the tree has to be cut down. It almost never ends well.
