Lucky me, I hit the center of the only patch of blackberrys and bushes in the field and the LE found the biggest small tree in that patch. No serious damage, wing got ripped off and the fuse sides pulled apart just enough to pop loose everything inside.

Sorry to see that Steve, but as you say, it doesn't look too serious. I remember when I was learning to fly, waiting for that calm morning was the hardest thing, and it was always the biggest mistake when I didn't wait. Use the R/C Model Flying Weather forecast link on the links page - it's very useful for picking a day. Not 100% accurate, but a good guide!

I pretty much figured on having to do repairs and I think I got off easy. Almost done fixing it, just need to apply covering patches and paint. The wind was forecast to be 3-4 MPH but when I got there it was clearly more then that, I guess I'll just have to work on the Hellcat while I wait. The RC club also has "trainer nights" in May, so in about 2 weeks I'll probably take advantage of that.
