SeamusG,

My first two meet their demise by pilot error. First one, I did takeoff roll and hauled back on the elevator to do a vertical climb.....not enough speed, ended up stalling. The second one pretty much like the first, except it was about 110 out that day and I did a normal take off, but the plastic elevator push rods stuck. I used the plastic rods provided in the kit. I failed to check control movements on its 3rd flight that day. Just cranked her up and taxied out. Earlier flights it was much cooler. So I had to get another one, and it's on the board right now. I'm using the golden rods on this one. My others I had OS 55's, as will this one. Love the way they fly.
