We laugh because I think most people can relate to breaking an RC plane and then realizing they should have practiced first.

Was outside flying my firebird scout in my field, had it going nicely for a good 15 mins or so, went on approach to land and it took a nose dive into my pine trees. :)

Test flew my 109 for a third time last week. Had to go into the programs wile I was flying it. The flaps were causing some major tail lift, and I had to couple up elevator, when the flaps were extended full. It took 76 degrees to get it to fly straight.
I'll tell you this, bigger warbirds WILL NOT land without flaps. It's either way to fast or you are stalling the airplane. It was not an easy task to do it the first time, and I will never do it again lol.
Next time though, I will be able to fly the airplane and I am quite excited to see how it is going to perform.

Once I flew my first Eagle 2 trainer at a frozen lake in Anchorage, AK. The flight itself was absolutely flawless. The landing, however, didn't happen. Suffice to say my depth perception was a wee bit off. I had it on approach to land on the ice, and it just brushed the top of a 50' tall birch tree. The tree stopped it, and the plane sank into it about ten feet and stuck there. Man, I was pissed. I never did get it back.

Msr is a BLAST! Had a mCX and it was fun, but not near agile enough for my liking.  (I fly larger 30 and 90 size heli's too).  Got the mSR and have been having a ball.  Fly it during commercials while wathcing TV with the wife.. hehe yea.. she loves it.. (sarcasm) Also always entertaining is to torment her cats with it.. GREAT fun.

REALLY looking forward the the next logical step of a mSR size heli with full collective pitch/aerobatic capability, that should be a SUPREME BLAST! lol.

Forgive any spelling errors, had oral surgery today so I am pretty doped up on painkillers...
