Sorry to see, that sux!

Nah, it's ok. Could've been much worse. Thankful to have a guy like Humberto to help.
Got to do some fun pop tops and spins though

Yep, got one long 15 minute flight, and then on the second flight, the engine died after 5 min in a low altitude position. Didn't make it back to the runway.

Dropped it off with Humberto the balsa magician for some attention. Got some video of the maiden, we will eventually get it posted.

Looks like it flies pretty good

Nice flier!

It was a lot of fun to fly. Definitely likes the energy maneuvers; pop tops, tumbles, and spins were great. Without the wing fences/side force generators, there is a little wing rock when really slow. Really enjoyed how precise it was in the big sky aerobatics, and how fast she was moving on a DLE 30 with a low pitch 19-3DA prop... Can't wait to try a 19x8

Got her back and all fixed up!


Can't even tell the gear was ripped out unless you look super close, and then all you see is the covering patch. Many thanks to my good friend Humberto!

Yep, he did a great job! Hope to get her flying this weekend to finish our review!

That repair looks amazing! Did he mention how much time it took to complete?
