Default RE: Top-Flite Contender

Well I went and did it, after well over 100 flights on my Contender I dumb thumbed it into the ground[:@]

I tore the whole nose section off of the fuse from the front of the wing forward. I think it is repairable but not in the short term. I crossed over to the dark side and went to the local H/S and bought a Hangar 9 Twist 60 with a new OS .75 AX installed and digital servo's installed ready for TX/RX. Well so they said. I have spent the last 4 hours re-doing everything and fuel proofing the firewall and fuel tank compartment.

When I decide to dig the Contender out I will post the repair.
