I took up my Freewing F-14 80mm using the afterburner units from Larry via https://fiftytwoeightyrc.com and got some nice relaxed flying in, even with a random fellow chatting with me.
Toward the end, I made the fatal mistake of not listening to my voltage callouts and went up knowing that I should've accepted the harder landing at 21:05. As a result, I predictably lost control, stalled, and slammed into the ground. This broke the fuselage at two points - right behind the metal plates of the wings and right at the front where the nose connects to the fuselage, along with destroying the nose gear mount. I could have repaired it but I'd rather be safe with something that weighs 14 pounds and flies overhead, so I've ordered $300 of replacement parts to get back up into the air again.
This is a tutorial on both what to do and what NOT to do. Don't ignore your voltage callouts trying to chase a perfect landing. Better to take a jet home with a less than perfect landing than it is to take a broken jet home that needs serious repairs.
