Hey nice flying! Well at least you were wringing that bird out before you dumb thumbed her in :) I've got a Draco too but she's a hangar queen because I don't want to crash her.

Great attitude. At first when you said crashes happen my heart skipped a beat, then I remembered it is a model. I fly big planes, crashes don’t happen. I think that is why I stopped flying RC, crashes became too realistic and stressful. I want to keep my strong aversion to crashing and I feared RC crashes made me accept them too easily. I enjoy watching RC flying but I had to stop one kind of flying, RC cost money big planes paid for everything, except now I am retired, I just fly my own plane that costs me money. Maybe I should get back into RC, save money. That was an awesome flight, I very much enjoyed it, even if the crash was just for a second, too real. You had a smile on your face even after the crash, so all was good.

Draco is lucky to have an RC Nurse to stabilize the pilot after the crash. I think Draco was always doomed from the beginning. The real Draco crashed and I have seen a lot of crash videos due to the high wing loading. RIP mini Draco. You handled that better than I would have. I would have been kicking it across the field then got drunk and started fights on World of Tanks. She's still fixable.

Maybe this isn't true, but I'd be willing to bet that the reverse prop feature is causing a lot of crashes... I have a draco and have hit the switch in flight twice now, fortunatly have been able to recover, but if you bump that switch while in flight or too early after landing, it can easily be game over.

Totally right about crashing. Everyone does it. It keeps RC model airplane manufacturers in business. I have bought, built, and/or assembled maybe 100 planes over a 16 year career. I now have only seven . I have given away a handful, thrown away a few (for the parts), and destroyed the rest. Nevertheless, it is an enjoyable, addictive, (and yes, frustrating) hobby.
