Default RE: Larger Revolver

Was going throught withdrawls the other day cause it had been like 3 weeks since I went out to the airfield. So I took my revolver 70 out and had about 3 hours of great flying. Still amazed at how good this plane flies. My OS95 AX performed flawlesly and I was about 5 flights in and on the 6th flight ( was going to be my last for the day ), I was doing a high speed low run accross the runway and BAM !!!,..SHEDEADSTICKSONME !!! WOW,..I was very low to the ground so I only had one shot at a good landing. I had just enough speed to do a very tight turn back to the runway and managed to align her straight and landed her without any problems. Further investigaing revealed that the screw holding the throttle handle to the carburator had become loose enough for the throttle to close and shut off the engine. I took her apart and tighten the screw and covered the screw with hot glue to make sure that it would not come loos again. Just a trick I learned here on the threads to avoid this happening again.
