RE: Another Skymaster Viper bites the dust....
Yes , I believe I saw that. And was something I forgot to mention since it is also what could have happened.
Let me say that my wings particularly were very tight to install every time I put them together. If in fact I did loose the tab that were to hold them in I doubt it could have backed the wing out but it had the tendancy of that as I lost it.. But a wing failure? I just cannot say for sure. Maybe you guys can make something out of the video when it uploads in about an hour or so. Check back.
I will not place blame on skymaster. Their kits have issues as all do. I just don't know what happened to mine. I will say Iwas disturbed to say a little when my first rudder blew apart to the faulty hinges they supplied with the kit and the lack of and instructions. And what little ribbing was in the rudder fin. But that seemed to be the only thing I would beef up.
Anton made good and replaced the whole rudder and fin painted free of charge.
It was to my amzement that the plane flew as well as it did with what was left of the fin hanging off it. And even more........I landed it.
