After a successful maiden flight in strong winds I was confident about flying the Frobisher again in kinder weather. The first flight of the day went really well although did show the difficult ground handling characteristics. The second flight ended in disaster. Powered up after pointing into wind but even with rudder the Frobisher yawed around almost into down wind direction. I should have abandoned the take off run but foolishly continued and once in the air it stalled. I corrected but it immediately tip stall over the other way and crashed. A sad end to a beautiful model but hey...it's just a hobby !

Sharing this experience so that others might learn from my mistake. To err is human and I think the most important thing is to understand why it happened and try not to do it again. I should have abandoned the take off and waited for the wind to reduce. Simple.

That's sad

Happened to me several times - I never learn 

Just the eternal optimist that this time it will come off! 

Well.. that was heartbreaking.. 

Inevitable if you fly RC a lot that mistakes and mishaps will happen. I've not had a bad crash for a long time. Just unfortunate it was with this special model. No point dwelling. Need to move onto another fantastic project.
