It's all part of the hobby. Sadly.

A lot of entertainment for the spectators, but the Walk of Shame to collect the model is mortifying for the Pilot and his Crew!
Just a humble observation - quite a few were too low speed on approach, and of course there was a spectacular tip-stall
Last Sunday we had a mid-air, one 40 size Paragon trainer, and an Easystar. A bunch of children from the nearby village were kibitzing, and it made their day >:D >:D
Not so nice for the Pilots though!
I always crash as close as possible to ensure the walk of share is as short as possible. LOL
