Yes Mark, same plane.... Still flying the original fiberclassics version. Stopped counting how many flights I have on it... well over 200. The field is in Ocala, about 1 1/2 hour drive for me so I only get out maybe twice a month but I pack as many flights in as I can in a day. Nicest field in the state of florida for sure!
As for the Tango....Yes, lost it this weekend []. First jet I have lost due to pilot error since I started flying turbines. Was playing around with the new radio setup and experimenting with slow flight. Guess I got it a bit too slow at high angle of attack and it snapped on me hard. To make things worse, I fought the snap with opposite rudder, up elevator and power instead of dropping the nose to build speed up and fly out. Ended up snapping again on the recovery [X(]. Luckily, no damage to anything but the airframe. I'll throw another together .

Hope to see you down here in march! Euro flights are still waiting for you [sm=surprised.gif]
