Default SpaceWalker and YS110FZ Separates!!!!

Well,
I guess the YS 110FZ is WAY to much engine for the firwall of the GP Spacewalker. Today fore after only running about 6 tanks through her she came apart in flight today! The engine completely ripped the rear firewall away from the front section and pulled away. The engine ended up in the field about 200 yards away. The plane see sawed back and forth downward to the ground. Once I saw wherre the engine landed, I used elevator control to help the plane land belly first which it did. There was no other damage other than the firewall ripped from her. The engine was recovered and I gave it a semi good cleaning. I will have to break it down some before I can attempt to start it again.

Man, that was something. Flying along and then bang, fffffffffthhhhhderrrr there went the engine........ Maybe I'll pay attention to the directions and only mount a 70 on her next time.....grin.... she will live once again.........
