Ken's little Great Planes Spitfire took a pretty hard hit after the wacky hand launch and crash. Did it survive? A lot of people seemed interested to find out.
Fortunately, the plane is a tough little bugger and Ken was able to repair the Spitfire and get her back in the air.
Apologies to everyone for the video quality, I switched to a digital zoom setting so I could reach out further in hopes of getting some decent video of this little fast mover. It seems that unlike optical zoom, the digital zoom does not like fast moving objects.
Lesson learned.
