I'll start, although it's not really a disaster, just a bit of a shame....

The weekend before last, I took my "Thing" (1.0m purple delta) to the field. During it's first flight, the battery pack went flat and it ended up in the corn field.
I did walk along the two tracks to the area where it went in, but due to the tall crop, could not see it. I didn't want to walk through the corn incase (1) I damaged the corn (2) Didn't know what time of year Adders are about!!

So, if any of you come across my "Thing" (no comments please!!) please let me know.

Thanks

Worzey
