I was flying inverted and, being an inexperienced flyer, I got my control movements mixed up and went straight in a almost full throttle! Went I got to the plane, it was stuck about 6 inches deep in the field! The only damage was a broken spinner and fuselage. I made a trip to the local True Value hardware store and bought 10 feet of fuselage and now it is ready to fly again!

Nice I had a SPAD too. Crashed it into a tree at full power with similar results, however mine was totaled.

Forget the alumuinum tail boom, make the whole fuselage out of
the drain pipe. It much easier and a whole lot cheaper. Check out SPADTOTHEBONE.com

You'll love em
