My first plane (crash)

I bought my first radio controlled air plane today, a Parkzone Mini-Vapor. Having never flew a plane in my life, and not being much into reading instructions, I promptly flew it, then crashed it! Thankfully it is a hardy little machine and seems to handle the knocks quite well and should live to fly another day 🙂

The Crown Range

After escaping the people overflow in Wanaka, Melissa and I headed over the Crown Range enroute to the equally overflowing Queenstown. For future reference, I don’t recommend visiting tourist hot spots on new years eve 🙂
