Aww, mate. What happened??

Looks pretty bad, but cant you repair it? Just get some carbon rod, some random foam to use as infill & a shed load of glue!

I've repaired and flown a plane that went in nose first from 150 feet up at nearly full throttle, it doesnt look pretty but it worked, & it still flies. It got snapped clean in half & is about 2cm shorter than it used to be plus the wings were snapped off at the end - you'll be surprised what will fly again.

I'll bet that will too....

I did fly again after that photo... pretty much did exactly what you wrote, BUT.... a few flights later I'm broke it clean in half. It's more glue then foam now.. I can't bring myself to throw it away mind.. so It's hung on my wall in the office.

QuoteWindrider Scoutbees, Ritewing Zephyr 2s (and Skysurfers) are all coming to your friendly UK based FPV shop within the next week or so if you're interested? :-)

Oooooo, Well, I may cancel my Bixler on back order at HK and pick up a Skysurfer maybe.. Maybe a Scoutbee for LOS wing action. All depends on prices I guess. Glad your gonna stock the ZII, thats on my wish list.

Ah I see, glad you managed to fix it for a few extra flights at least. ;)

We're doing a special Sky Surfer cockpit too so that we can offer a properly RTF big FPV plane.  Think Spyhawk but bigger and proper FPV gear.  They're with UPS and should be here any day now.

The ZIIs were sent last Monday with USPS/ Parcel Force so I'm waiting for a letter from ParcelForce to pay the customs fees.  Hopefully any day now...  (The tracking is showing that they landed at Heathrow 06/11/2012 and as of 7/11/2012 they were "Awaiting customs charging").  I'll get them priced up and on the website tomorrow.

On the Windrider Scoutbees I believe they will ship this week by EMS so they'll be 2-3 weeks I should think.

Exciting times!

That sounds fantastic, exciting times indeed. The SkySurfer bundlee/package sounds very appealing. I'm heading to your site now to check on news.
