Ok, to be technical the video with my friend filming was the first flight on this airframe. The video portion with the camera on the tripod was the second battery/flight on the airframe to provide different view points. Approximately 15 minutes of video was edited down to the 5' 49".
Repairs are easy. Faom safe CA, Foam Safe Kicker on the fuse and I was back in the air in very short time (1 minute fix and 2 minutes to make sure the CA was fully cured).
EPP foam planes are very durable to learn indoor flying with and they absorb impacts much better than depron.
This plane is made out of 3mm depron foam so it will take an extremely light crash with usually only minor repair. I have continued with a flight after brushing a wingtip on the field and then just glued the carbon crossbraces back together. The two mishaps at the end of the video were with the wings level to the ground and no damage was evident. Ive also nosed it in from about 2 foot off the ground doing rolling circles and broke the fuse almost in half just behind the wings.
I used the recommended cyclone motor, berg 4L micro receiver, Castle Creations Pheonix 10amp esc, JR 185 servos, 480 and 730mah Thunderpower Batteries with Deans micro connectors.
i just bought one of these and i love it!!!! its fun and easy to fly

Yep, thats the one. We start flying indoors once the flying fields are inaccessable.

So, you are pretty much saying it isn't that durable?
but if you do break the fuse in half, can u just glue it back together with foam safe epoxy??

Another question, hwo durable is this plane? Will it keep on flying even after having some light crashes?
