It looks to me like well over 50% of those who have posted here have had a problem of some sort. Almost 30% with complete failure.

I'm not really sure why those who haven't had a failure, refuse to believe any of them. [sm=confused.gif]

I have a Lanier "Explorer" trainer that has had maybe....15-20 flights, and 1/2 of the split elevator had a CA hinge break. Was it it me? Was it too much power? Too much throw? The answer is.....NO, NO, and NO.

Recommended throw, a ST 45 strapped on the front, and....PRE-GLUED CA hinges.

I fixed the (broken) one half with "Flex-Point" hinges, and will fix the second half after that one fails.

Luckily, I didn't lose the plane.
