So let's say in one day you manage to do two cartwheels, hit a field goal with the wing and spiral to the ground, and hit the ground after losing power.
What sort of damage do you expect?

Broken Wing, Broken Fuselage, broken firewall, broken gearbox, bent prop shaft, broken prop, torn up batterybox, bent landing gear. Stripped servo
Thats what I generally expect for every crash. Fortunately, they ausually aren't that bad.

I was flying too low to the ground the other day with my SC, and it did a cartweel after smashing nose-first full-speed into the ground and the only damage was the nose broke completely off. One clean cut, a $0, 10 minute fix.

I have a buddy that makes claims like that all the time. Somehow when I check the plane I manage to find all sorts of problems that 'never happened in that crash'.

I hit a goal post at the local high school football field. I was coming down from about 200 ft and zooming in between the posts, looping around and passing through again. On one pass I I came in on the long dive and a gust of wind tossed me left at the last second - WHAM right into the post. My cub hit hard...spiraling to the ground and nose and wing it HARD. The fuse dented, broke a prop, slightly bent the prop shaft, broke firewall, knocked a quarter size piece out of the end of the wing and a goal pole sized dent in the wing. Not too bad considering I hit it full speed from a long dive. The cub is a tuff little bird and parts are cheap. I love it (except the crap esc.)
