Hey all!
A few days ago, I was flying my custom, home built R/C aircraft, and as I was coming in for a landing, I guess I caught a little bit too much crosswind, and just as I was lowering speed, the plane blew off course TOTALLY, and the wind made it bank so hard that it literally CARTWHEELED after impacting the ground. It slammed the ground after I attempted to re-gain control by full throttling it.
Total damage:
>Clipped wings (one broken in HALF)
>Broken tail
>Ruined servo/reciever system
>Entire fuselage ripped in half
But guess what: the two engines on it werent even broken! I used two "turbo" FAN engines, so they just got a little scratched. I made a foam casing for them before putting them on the wing, and they work perfect!
My question to everyone is: what is the worst crash landing you have ever had? It doesnt have to be you, but you need to have been there when it happened!
