I am down to one predator now. Last one got chewed up real good by a T Rex in Havoc Over Hamilton. I have found them to be extremely tough with many dirt naps and HARD mid airs. Bi-dirctional tape on the bottom is a must, and I used RSN on both to gaurd against prop cuts, which worked out well. I have flown both into full power dives and pulled up close to the ground with no problem. Balance is extremely critical--build the plane and balance per directions by balancing gear on plane before cutting the foam. It will save lots of heart burn. Both of mine were tail heavy using the supplied drawings.

I have found the Tuff Flight guys to be very understanding and responsive.

Good luck and give the Predator another try.
