Well I hope to hear you have more success with Debonair #2. I really enjoyed the one I had but have to admit, I had a few crackups with mine as well. Once you're in the "groove" with it, its remarkable how good it does fly. Sure it is not a svelt aerobat, but it is an honest flyer capable of really mild aerobatics. Hope you get #2 built and better success to you.
