What the HELL is wrong with people these days?

So this weekened I did a nice RC Air Show with the Millis Model Aircraft Club (AMA Charter 1463). It was a blast.

A good time as usual... right up till some kid decided to take a header, fall on my F-22 and destroy the right wing. Now by itself, its not big deal, things happen. But nope, the parent (mother) of this kid (one of three mind you) scooped up all three kids, and high-tailed it outta the park (the event was held at Plains Park in Milford).

So I didn't get a chance to fly at all this weekend. Which will more than likely be one of the last flying weekends for the season, as things shut down rather quickly come the late fall in New England.

So most people will now ask, what about fixing the wing! Sure, but I found three crushed ribs, from the stringer to the leading edge, the leading edge itself broken in three places, the sheeting on the top and the bottom crushed and the outer rib destroyed. Replacement wings you ask? Well since it's an ARF they are available... $99.00... how much does a whole new plane go for? $159.99...

So I'm kinda stuck. Time to strip all the stuff outta this plane I think.
