Flew around a while at Cesar Chavez park on Berkeley Marina. It was quite windy as usual, which gave me a tough time of managing the throttle. I crashed when I got overzealous with some swooping. There was no damage, just two folded arms and 4 lost screws from the camera mount (I have plenty of spares). Also met three other RC guys in the park. One fellow had a wooden Windestal tricopter with FPV gear. He said it's the easiest way to fly tricopters.
