Yes Erik, it is getting a tail amputation and graft soon... :-( The Kolm 135 is way too much power for this plane, it lifted off in ten feet like a lightly loaded 3D plane. (it weighs right at 50) It was airborne way before it was going fast enough for the control surfaces to be effective... Pretty tough to see that much work last around five seconds. But the front end is still pristine, and thats where all the fabrication was, it will fly again.
