Just thought I would mention that BOTH leadouts pulled out on my Bislob. First was the up line, smashing the ground hard, then the down line pulled out too, from the extra stress. I figured the crimped tubing was to blame... as well as me for not doing the pull test that year. Brodak did nothing about it. The Fox .35 was just starting to lean out. Fuselage is powder. Just a reminder to DO THE PULL TEST. First and last control line ARF for me. I like my RC Twists, but they are over engineered at the wing joint and landing gear mount. Very weak because of too much material removal.
