LOLOLOL. I will actually be selling one of them when the 91 yak comes out

I'll give $5 and pay shipping. . Doesn't look like a RIP, but more like an opportunity.

Nope. It is RIP. the fuse buckled, the tail is really messed up, and one of the wings is pretty crushed. It's not worth fixing, chances are I won't be able to make it strong enough or there will be something that is now weakened that will break later.

Suit yourself but I you can make it as strong as you want it to be IMO. You should see what my 70 slick has bounced back from. It is as strong as ever... just doesn't look brand new anymore lol. It has been broken right in half... fix the fuse and buy a new wing. Much cheaper than a new plane!

Took a picture this morning to share where Capt Roll and I fly every morning before work. This is our driving range at Nike Golf. It is mowed daily and is maybe 3/8" tall. It looked so nice today and it hit me how fortunate we are to have this. We have to be done by 8AM but so convenient. We only fly out electrics here because homes are across the street to our backs. 71" Slicks is the largest we fly here.

Looks amazing! I live by a turf farm but they leave the grass pretty long, even when mowed. I almost never fly there anymore.

Got t-boned by a deer today on my bike. I was ripping through a right hand sweeper, doe and fawn were on the shoulder, and of course they dodged the same way I swerved. The doe's head smoked my knee, and at ~80 mph, THAT HURTS. Luckily it spun her around and her head was all that hit me, so it didn't crash me.

Busted a fairing on my radiator, and bent a molded-in mounting stud over, but that's it.

Sam you got lucky! Could have been a whole lot worse! Glad you are relatively okay.
