broken again!!!
Just put the broke in 1/2 at fuse stuntman back together, put new controls on it just to have something to play with for SUNDAY was 65 degrees here and not much time had to clean wood stove while it was warm, ANYWAY HAD 1 pretty good flight {for me} the 2nd was a grounder as the string got caught on the door latch at take off.. and I was not going up there to reset it just let it run out of fuel. The final flight was high and mighty till I tried to some outside loops well when it plowed into the ground... I found out some of the motor mount was fuel soaked being this is an very old plane don't surprise me I have really got to find some rubber props may give it over to a friend to repair he want to get some air time in him and younger son are going to get into the hobby again>. At least my fix did hold up thanks to Rusty,s advice

Re: broken again!!!
Sorry to hear about that. That handle you are using is way too much for 1/2A. If you use a proper 1/2A handle you may be surprised with how well you fly.

That outside loop will get you! I've destroyed two planes on their first flight attempting outsides.

Re: broken again!!!
Sorry it broke... again... The better a plane flies... the more we're tempted to "wring it out"...
I hope it gets fixed again.

I hope it gets fixed again.

Re: broken again!!!
I'm sorry to hear this also, but don't let it get you down. I remember how many airplanes my boys and I broke learning to fly. Seemed like we were rebuilding planes more than flying planes. It gets better, it's great when you come home with nothing to fix.
