My third plane was Connie, a Flitetest Mighty Mini Sparrow.  I also cut this from plans using DTFB.

This one unfortunately didn't last very long.  It was just too twitchy and too quick for where my limited skill level was at the time.  I fixed her several times, but at the end one really hard crash did in the fuselage.  While I could have remade her, I decided to hold off for when my skills were better.  The wing survived pretty well, so is reusable.  I might make the design or something similar again in the future.

Original construction completed:

After the last crash:


On other planes where the fuselage has broken(notably Pearl and Lapis), I could just glue it back together.  Here there were just too many bends and folds such that I wasn't able to make it straight again.
