How do you guys keep that plane together with these big engines???

Mine's gone now as the fuse broke in two during it's 14th or 15th flight with a MVVS 2.15 on it. It weighed 14.5 pounds. Flew very heavy but ok I guess. Never got to the point of doing any violent maneuvers with it, but during the slow pass straight and level I heard a big CRACK/SNAP and the front of the fuse from the leading edge of the wing forward left the plane like a sparrow missile for the ground. The plane suddenly under powered and very tail heavy, slowly darted into the ground tail feathers first and destroyed itself. The wing is unscathed though.

I'm going to order a new fuse and tail group and rebuild it, even thought I know I'll have to fix all the problems with the ARF. My incidence was out by two degrees also. Nothing fit, and most everything was warped. I'm an idiot for rebuilding it, but I've got two wings to use up!

I'm going to put a Saito 150 in this time.

Cheers!
