Status: offline 		Thanks AV8 , I do have the 300 , the A10 flew great , just like it was on raisl . got about 3 months out of her .Then one day here in Pa , it was sunny and the winds were coming in from the Hurracane down south . I should not have flown it but I felt like it and on a low pass i lost control (pilot error ) . I just do not have enought speed with the crosswind to pull up and she dowe hard and fast .
So the engines still work so I am going to use them in this plane

Status: offline 		Thanks for the info, LDM and avi8tor. Yea, Id like to make it an e-flight ducted fan. Ill use the same setup you are. I ordered 2 kits because Im just so damn impressed by this guy. I decided to build one for the guy that taught me to fly because Ive been trying to find a good way to say thanks for that, and the other one Ill do for myself with the ducted fan setup.

Status: offline 		Go fan if you like but build one NOW and just get it airborne. You will have a blast and have all the old guys drooling! I flew mine twice this weekend and am not sure weather I liked the OHHS and AHHAS or the blinding fast rolls better. Get it built and fly NOWWW!!!

Status: offline 		This plane is a hoot to fly but watch out for the trees! Both planes I built have been tree magnets. No big, I am going to try splicing in repairs if they don't work the plane is easy enough to make over.
Levi, have you tried using a small square of foam for the corner brace in leiw of balsa?
