So Andy,
With Basil asking the same questions he did two months ago cause he won't read the instructions and people arguing over the use of the CA hinges for the umpteenth time and RCguy making two word replies cause nobody will read back a few pages before posting and he's tired of answering the same questions....why do you say this thread has run itr's course?

Flynt, I'll bet my left wheel nut that you had a couple of real hard landings that loosened the firewall before she broke apart in the air. While this is definatley Patty's weak spot and Andy even cut open the top to beef it up, I don't think they will come apart in the air without a few hard knocks to loosen up the joint. Maybe you did get a defective fuse and the 12 year old Asian kid that built it was having a bad day but my guess is that it dropped a few feet to the ground and landed flat on the wheels once or twice.
