Yo Ejam! Glad to see the thread back in action. Yeah, I had the same situation a couple weeks ago with my Spirit-100 - rudder hinges (monokote, of course) had let go, so I took ALL the hinges off and re-did them with good ol' pinned-nylon types. Those WON'T let go.

Thailazer, glad to hear that the tree didn't get more than a piece of your critter. I learned a long time ago that - to a tree, balsa tastes like chicken.

(sorry guys, my POOR idea of humor)
