Extra 300s smashed !

Binned my plane yesterday, been a great plank to fly, goes where you put it, this time though straight in the ground !

It did look like this:

and alongside my MX2:

I was pushing real hard, and yanking it around at high speeds, did a couple of death spirals, and then on the 3rd one, stopped the spin fine, a little lower than before, put in some up elevator, it started to raise it's nose a bit, then carried on straight at a slight angle from vertical into oblivion ! Someone said it could have stalled due the the angle of incidence, not sure how though or what this is !

thats a shame, mind you gives an excuse to buy a new plane now ;) any thoughts on what to get next?

Damn, that was a nice looking little plane.

BTW - I have a brand new still in the box CMPro extra 330L that I'll sell if you're interested. I just haven't done anything with it yet.

Consider anything, though I do fancy the Easy Glider Pro for relaxing after heli's on a summer day!

Sorry to see that. Did something similar with my EDF, yanked the turn to hard, to low, and to slow... 'Landed' in a bush as a result, only bust the wing and put a few scrapes on the fuse though, got another wing now so its going again:)

wow that really is a smash up and a half! least a new air frame wont be too much compared to a large heli air frame.

i put my funjet in yesterday inverted into a crop growing around our flying club all fixed now with a bit of epoxy. note to self not to paint any of my planes green took me a while to find it ;)
