Took mine out today. had a lot of fun with it until the last flight. I was coming in to land with the flaps down, was floating along to high, started to run out of runway so decided to go around, I throttled up and she quit. I went past the end of the runway and started a shallow left turn then set it down, I didn't think I sat it down that hard but it tore out the main gear anyways. It also made a small puncture on the bottom of the wing and right side of the fuse. Damage is no big deal really, I am a long time kit builder and have repaired way way way worse then this. I thought I was over this stalling problem cause I have not had a problem over the last half dozen flights or so. Its been running great. After alittle investigation I realized I had an empty tank. I guess I need to make an adjustment to my timer.
