This plane was really cool.  Someday I might just build another.  It flew really well and expanded my skills 10 fold.  It died one day because of a dumb-thumb.  I was flying at the top of a hill, practicing hanging from the prop over the valley. After aborting the hang I would switch back to low rates and fly a slow circuit back on top of the hill by myself. Before going back over the valley I'd go back to high-rates (really high rates). This one time, while flying slow, I hit the "snap-roll" switch instead. It flipped over and headed straight to the dirt. This really sucked because I'm not a fan of the snap switch. I'd rather push all the sticks to snap instead of hitting a single switch. Needless to say I disable the snap switch now.
