No worries, easily fixed in 10 minutes because of the clean break.

Hmmm !!! Now you have to remove the "Never crashed a plane ... "  :D
How come you are flying in a caged field ?
Feel bad about the crash. Its a good but fast aircraft.

It's a small field, enclosed by high fences to keep the baseballs inside the park.

Already fixed it, took 10 minutes.  It will fly at the next calm day.  This one has more power than the first version:

BTW, it's for sale for Rs 900 - includes one 3S 1300 mAh lipo and one 4s lipo 1000 mAh

Has the 25 amp brushless ESC and 250 motor from the Hobbyking Skyfun, plus two servos (ail and elev)

The 6" APC prop alone cost me Rs 500 to ship here.

You just need your own RX/TX

@ponappa
Theleabres gives away at least one model every month for a token payment.
Usually less than 50%, sometimes 25% of cost, maybe even free sometimes.
Only condition is he will not ship. You have to collect from him in Delhi.

It's too huge to ship = 1.4 meter wingspan

I prefer to be the unknown person helping share the extra servings on my plate that I have been blessed with.  Please don't start a thread of my used planes.  Some of them had too many crashes and repairs, not sure if I should have just given them away to a school.
