Hi....My son had one of these and flew it wwwaaayyyy beyond what it was supposed to be able to handle. He crashed many times and rebuilt it every time. It was a great trainer. It definately taught him to be a better flier.
The fuse is nothing more than a PVC gutter downspout you can get at Menards. One length of spout makes about 6 fuses, so you have a few crashes left !!
Fly the heck out of this plane and have some fun!!
