After hours of printing and one successful flight, flying with the wind, I guess I got smacked by a gust that took the wind from under the plane and it entered a death spiral. I am not sure what happened, I just lost control and the plane entered a death spiral. A tree cushioned the fall. Not one salvagable part.  |

Looks like one unfortunate characteristic of 3D printing planes. |

Dude. Looks like one unfortunate characteristic of 3D printing planes. ouch that hurt Unfortunately. I am slowly but surely gaining more success. The next print will be even lighter. I knew it wasnt a good idea to fly it right before a T Storm but i did it anyway. |

Here is my poor JN4 Jenny's demise. A runcam mounted on the wing gets great video but I learned the hard way to counter balance it the next time. I'm sure it would have been fine at flying speed - wish I'd reached it. youtu.be/hwVfeTpXIkw |
