ORIGINAL: evan-RCU

I tapered the trailing edges, cleaned up the leading edges, closed in the engine area.... recovering wasn't hard except to get the covering to stick to the fiberglass turtle deck. After all that work it flew away first flight and I never found it, lost control about 30 seconds into the flight, going full throttle over the trees about a mile away was the last we saw of it. Searched for days.... The funny thing is that was number 2, I still have number 1, 5 years old and still flys great, ratty yellow covering and all...

Sorry to hear that. I betcha the plane decided to have a mind of it's own right after you had it trimed and level?
So it could fly well into the next county. [:@]
