Default RE: Debonair finished

I flew my Debonair the other day with a ST-45 and 11X5 Master airknife and flew very well with lots of power. It weighed in at 5 lbs 4 oz. I did have some trouble with the wing not being per the drawing as it was pointed at the leading edge. I duct taped a piece fo Coroplast on the top at the leading edge adn this solved its handling abilitiy. I have now permanently glued a piece of Coro on the top of the wing from the leading edge back and will fly it tomorrow. This will be a super trainer as I crashed it on the first day of flight checks due to a servo stripping the gears on ailerons. I flew into a barb wire fence but no damage except for a couple of punctures in the wing and throttle arm broken off motor etc. Man this stuff is tough!!!!
