Default RE: CMP 160 sized Texan

I'm going to weigh what's left of it and see what it came out to.
It landed on one wing tip so the front and rear wing mounts twisted the fuselage and shucked it like a crab.
Basically one outboard wing panel on the wing is toast and the firewall ripped out. (no surprise after seeing how little was holding it in to begin with)

I guess all I can do is learn from my mistakes and try again. I will be weighing and balancing after every step this time.
I'm pretty sure it weighed more than yours does RCPILOT78.

If I get a good flying plane this time I can always go back and add things later.
I agree with your comment about the smoke, Kelly! Check out Jim's hangar pictures at http://www.chestercountyrc.com/modul...lbum=55&page=2 .
