That's the only reason I've not got a toy plane, I'd crash it and then I'd cry. So, what do you do now? Buy another plane with no engine?

Some friends of ours did a wheelie day out at Long Marston and we went along to watch.
There were also people there with radio controlled planes, and one guy had an F16. I happily admit to being far more interested in watching the planes than the pathetic wheelie attempts ![]()

Ah, that's not too bad then. I'd still cry though!

http://www.spadtothebone.com/ The only one of those I managed to destroy was with a .50, tuned pipe 2smoke, ported and revving to some very big numbers, on a tiny airframe probably better suited to a moderately tuned .40. Into a gate post, flat out. The shower of parts went another 50m.

Too right. Was impressive shower of alloy chunks from the fuz and electrics, luckily the engine was fairly knackered anyway, wish I still had it though it was a right wailing mad thing on 30% nitro.
