Unfortunately the Gladiator is no more. 100% pilot error :mad:, I was experimenting with some different launch techniques and I think I clipped the wing on the ground. The was a huge jolt and it felt like the wing snapped but apparently it didn't. However, I was so startled by the shock I released the peg and lost track of the glider. I only found it again as it plowed into the ground behind me straight down and totalled the nose and the wing. This DLG has been so much fun I already have an order in with Etienne at Icare (http://www.icare-rc.com) for a replacement :D. If you look at the trace logs it was still a pretty good launch and made it to 90 feet on the last flight.
