Default RE: Rare Bear

FWIW I am not going this route, having seen one in the flesh. A friend bought a used one off ebay recnetly. Stab was not parallel to wing, so it had to come off the be fixed. Being in the radiography business, he xrayed the tail at work - guess why they sometimes lose the stab? The carbon tube spar, once inserted into one stab, glued and then pushed through fuselage and into other stab half, doesnt reach the next rib out from the root!! Its only attached to the root rib, which means that stab half will flex on the glued fuselage surface, and eventually will break it away....He is getting a length of arrow shaft in CF and making a proper length spar for it.

I have put the OS 120 SP in a CMpro Giles 202 140 size, and it flies great!
