I had a mid-air collision with my P-51 Mustang after waiting almost 2 hours to fly :( I just took off and was making a right turn to pass down the runway when my wing clipped a smaller white plane I didn't see against the gray clouds. The other plane's prop cut a gash in my wing and took out a chunk of foam on the outer leading edge of the wing. I lost control and was unable to turn and my plane went into the ground, breaking the prop and forward part of the fuselage :(
Damage from the mid-air collision and ground impact.
My friend picked up the F16 70mm EDF! My P51 being assembled prior to the mid-air collision.
I think I can glue my P51 back together and get it flying again, as the damage is only to the foam. All the electronics seem ok. I could also rebuild it with a new fuselage and wing, and add a new telemetry receiver and current sensor. Or I can just scrap it and pull the electronics for spare parts and get a new war plane capable of flying on 4S batteries. I'll probably try and repair it and see if it's still flyable at first.
