Last crash of the evening was into a tractor-trailer, caused mostly by loss of the lefthand control surface due to a bad taping job. Damage was repaired in 15 minutes at home and with some trimming she should be ready to fly again. [15 minutes of work later: Did a glide check and trim-out in the yard and it's ready to go again]
