Tragic RC Plane Crash: E-flite Apprentice S 15e

9 years ago

Well, my flight experience didn't end how I had hoped when I left the house this evening. Apparently my crash in the cornfields the night before had done more damage than I originally had thought - which led to even worse damage today. I did my pre-flight check and everything appeared to work properly. Trying to take off was another story. Then once in the air, the plane wouldn't bank right. With limited landing options and a desire to not have it fly away or into the trees, I brought it around for a landing in the bean field...maybe there is a reason that my channel logo has a truck on it.

UPDATE: I was able to repair the nose damage to the Apprentice S 15e with Super-Gold CA glue. After gluing, I did a few pull tests to check the strength of the bond and it is very secure. I'll be going out with it again soon with the hopes of filming some upright barrel rolls or something new. I also remembered that it has to be turn on while on a level surface and I did not do that out here as I was rushing too much to get a flight in before the sun went down.
