ORIGINAL: Richard D Bahmann aka/Wrongway Here is mine just out of the box one flight ago with the WrongWay Cam! Question, how do you guys keep from breaking the counterbalances? By the end of my 4th flight I had broken it twice on seemingly normal landings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkO_fUbqhnE Stop doing harrier landings in the grass with the elevators fully up. [:D] Actually we just hand catch our foamies all the time. Much safer than trying to land a light foamy type plane in the grass. If you fly off pavement or your street then this is not a problem. Just land normally. Well I tried to catch mine......I am not sure if it safer to catch it or not. The vids are all in fun ouf course. But I wonder if you can put the stiffening rod in the elevator and wings why cant you mold one in the stab conterbalance to keep them from breaking....it truly is a weak spot on an otherwise strong airframe. One more thing,, maybe if you set a brass insert in the two holes that the bolts go into for the lading gear it would be more durable as well. I hardened them in the begining...then I filled them with gorilla glue.....I know landing in tall grass but it was just mowed today and grows fast in Florida. Then........... this plane would truly be indestructable.[:D][:D] BTW can you come and catch my stiffy for me? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg8jPDeyuHU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHjR7sLElVY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EVWCMN-omQ
