Crashing is just a part of this hobby. I did have some contrast. The top of the wing had a large red wingtip band. Plain white on the bottom. Many years ago my Ugly Stik got too far from me. I could only see the contrast in colors. That helped me bring it back home and save the plane.
Debonair II is well along in the build. I have the fuselage cut, the ole tail feathers on, the tail wheel and the elevator-rudders servos on. I need to install the pushrods and I can move to the mid- section.
Success is just one plane away. But I did cut 2 fuselage sections just in case.
