It didn't look like it hit that hard. It stalled at about 5' and went in on it's nose.

Replaced the first 3 bays under the wing.

High wind put it into the trees. Damage wasn't bad until we tried to get it out of tree.

Recovered it all with Polyspan.
Currently crashed. I'm flying another RC-1 built by Frank Ryan. Powered by McCoy .60
