Mid-air collision of Mini-Apprentice and Phantom. My flying buddy was filming from his Phantom, maintaining position, while I flew around him in my Mini-Apprentice. I misjudged my turn and flew straight into him. The Phantom sliced the front of the Apprentice almost completely off but the plane did a slow spiral glide to a soft landing. No damage from the landing, just from the collision. The Phantom seemed to recover itself but control was intermittent until it finally crashed on return to home. The nose was a very clean break and glued on with no problem. The Mini has been flying successfully ever since on land (larger 3" tires), water (floats) and snow (DuBro park flyer skis). It is a great plane.
