Adrian:
Thanks for the compliments. They are timely however because the model did in fact crash last Sunday. I had just rolled it over to inverted while performing a split S when it suddenly went into a spin and headed straight in. Fortunately it did not hit the rather hard desert ground and landed in a mesquite bush. All that was damaged was the strarboard wing, the fuselage, engine & cowling were not damaged at all.
I have no idea what caused this! I have performed this maneuver many times with other aircraft. I do not think that it was a tip stall because it would not respond to any control input. I checked the battery and it was low but well over 4.2 volts
I did order a new wing from World and it arrived today, so the spit will fly again!
