Yeah, it's already fixed. Too bad the scar is so small. Just a little bit of missing covering at the back bottom edge of the rudder.

I ground back the old busted hinges and drilled new holes next to the old ones. I think I can do that 5 or 6 more times before I run out of virgin wood.

Lol that's awesome! Today I went and put 8 packs through the Aerobeez sbach 48" epp full fuse and got two flights on the 106" Pilot Extra 260 before the wheel collar came off-again. No damage as the wheel pants keep the tire on but lots of rubbing. Great day of flying here! Had a kick ass good time!

I picked up one of those Aerobeez full fuse Sbachs. Its a nice flying plane...I fly at a grass field, sometimes the clover is too thick and is hard on the LG. I had to peel back the foam to beef up the landing gear. I put bigger wheels on also. I'm impressed with it's performance. How do you like it?

I really enjoy it! I also had to beef up the lg box but it's held. Also, I strengthened the motor box with a couple cf tubes after a crash from a relative trying it out. Great customer service from Aerobeez sent me a new motor box right away for $20 if I remember right. If anyone's buys one just go ahead and beef up both right away.

The plane flys extremely floaty and feels like a larger plane. The plane is very capable of doing any trick in the book but I have noticed harriers have lots of wing rock which I think is more indicative of the sbach and not this particular plane. Having said that it's a freakn blast to fly and it's been a long year of flying it hard! I have at least 100 flights on it. Oh and did I mention it's my sons plane?!?! Lol! Guys if you haven't used that excuse yet to buy a new plane it works!

+1 It does act like a much larger plane. I agree in regards to wing rock, a Slick or an Edge would be better...but the Sbachs were 30% less expensive. After seeing how it flies, I wish I would have spent the extra. I was surprised that the wings were held in place with rubber bands. It was worth every penny. Great knock-around plane that can really perform.

Take a look at this thread, has a different wheel collar clamp that seems to work better. My next gas plane will be getting them.

I agree I would have bought the extra 330 but at the time they didn't have any yet. It's sweet and comes with SFG's. $126.00 on sale now at Aerobeez.com
