Default Seagull PC9 trashed

Ok here we go!!!!
the seagull PC9 was a fun plane to fly for about a half gallon of fuel. I'm using a tower .46 pro. started with a 12x6 and was just getting used to it and changed to a 11x6 tonight for a little more speed and it worked, a good bit more speed then........ out wide and back in at me WFO.... there is a lesson here!!!! anyway when it went by it sounded like a freight train so I pulled out and it stopped fluttering, Hmmmm???? I got me a little throttle to go around for approach and when I pulled back nothing!! SOMETHING BROKE HERE and off into the distance, Down in a corn field. In the next county. Control horn pulled right out of the elevator and man did it trash this thing.
Totaled!!
This kit was weak at best and I did all the little things nessasary to make it "safe" to fly but several things just made it one I'll never try again. If it were built good it would make a nice plane. Very stable and easy to land and quick. Might look for a good tucano or pc9 kit.


Ok out...Miloh.
