This was nothing I did..... of course!
Upon second take off the plane climbed and promptly veered sharp left until it met the ground at a high rate of speed. They just don't build 'em like they use to :-)

 We all crash
by: Robert

Sorry to hear about the equipment failure, but it happens to all of us. The plane can be replaced, flying time may be lost, tempers may flair,and you might say some bad words or throw a few pieces but the worst thing that can happen in a crash is loosing the pilot out of the plane at such a young age. LOL

 Crashing
by: Matt

When you crash, and its bound to happen, you should 1. Keep calm 2. Keep concentrating and so you could gain control back 3. If you have any safety accessories then activate them straight away eg:parachutes.

 Crash
by: Mark

Doesn't look too bad - one of the things you must learn in this hobby is crash repair not too hard.
Just remember you don't have to rebuild it back to perfect condition, just get it back into the air!
My first crash was due to my failure to extend my antenna! Cost me a week of repair! And believe me it didn't look as good as before but it flew!
Hang in there! you will get it my friend!

Oh no, that's an aweful thing to have happen on a first (or 2nd) flight. On any flight come to think of it....
Radio failure?? Pilot error?? (only kidding...)
Dark forces at work??
