Thanks DB & Nico. I've crashed my fair share of RC planes and I have walked away from every one of them. Many flew again, some got taken home in a body bag! This particular crash occurred when my RC club hosted the Lockheed-Martin SAE Heavy Lift competition. We had 65 University teams from all over the world. This team was considerate enough to crash their plane where I could get a good photo of it.

Definitely "still"... not chance for any further motion... pretty much dead, proverbially! Was it yours, Pops? I hope not, since I am sure the repairs would have been expensive indeed. Regards Nico

When I became a pilot, Pops, I learned (among other things) that "any landing you can walk away from is a good landing". There, radio controlled flight has a definite advantage ;-) db.
