My future crashed... :(
NOTE TO ALL: DON't try to fly this model in "Agility MODE" until you are VERRRRRRRRRRY good/experienced with modulating your radio controls... I was just going to fly a LITTLE in Agility mode to see how it acts... I pulled the throttle up and this thing looked like it was shot out of a cannon, I panicked and pulled a directional control which resulted in a 1 1/2 backflip and the thing came back down as fast as it went UP... Hit smack in the middle of our trampoline (I'm pretty sure that the trampoline landing is all that saved it)... THe battery flew out, parts went flying everywhere...
Good thing it's modular and the hobby shop stocks plenty of repair parts...
16 bucks and 40 screws later it is all back to normal...

first time i flew it into the canopy of the oak tree I was standing under, my peripheral vision isn't good anymore with my glasses...
resulting in a broken landing gear, no biggie since I was swapping over to taller landing gear for GoPro clearance and a gimbal...
Second/third crash was in the kitchen while doing some calibrations, broken props, that was a $11 repair...
I'm so glad this last time I didn't have my new GoPro on for that stunt...

I have to do a LITTLE coax repair... NO pun intended... Yes, that grey wire is a coax, look close...
I am going to need my double eye loupe for this one...
