Well, this little ladybird is (was) my first experience with RC and it has been a blast. It has (had) so little mass that you wouldn't think that one could do this much damage. I've been flying it indoors mostly but have flown it outdoors a few times when the wind permitted. Had several crackups previously, but all were reparable with super glue, baking soda, and toothpicks until today. This is what happens when one panics and dives smack into a gravel driveway. After my first incident that was hard enough to damage the frame I realized that perhaps I should obtain some spare parts just in case. Fortuitously, the two frames that I ordered a few days ago arrived today, so even though I came home today like this I am already back together and ready to fly tomorrow. ;-)
