RE: US 120 complete
Well.......I flew it today. It flew great. Hardly any trim changes at all. I needed to set the ele mix for flaps because it was too much down. So I could'nt use the flaps making landing a little fast. After several approachs I decided to make a long approach so I could get the speed off before the strip. I totally misjudged my distance and flew it into the trees. It's a total loss, less than ten minutes on it. Was able to salvage all but the elevator servo which broke off at the screws. I'm extremely disheartened to say the least. My future in the hobby isn't looking too good right now. My wife still is encouraging me to continue but I don't have the heart to go through all the work and money on another large plane. I'm seriously thinking selling my G26, Super Tigre 3000 and a OS .46LA. I just put a Brisson muffler on the G26. Anyway, if I was a drinkin' man I'd get drunk.
I will say this, that the G26 works great on the Lite. Mine isn't even broke in either, less than one gallon through it so far. This is the second US 120 I've put in the trees. It WILL be my last.
