Searcher, all

Watch out with the power combos. Suffered a firewall failure this weekend. Landed after 5th flight of the day, rolling out on the runway and the firewall fell off! Engine was idling, so no other damage, but had to be one of the funniest looking things I have seen. When it separated and the prop hit the runway, it started the UCD bouncing up and down about a foot as it rolled along the runway. Sure am glad it did not release in the air! I did not do the dump of epoxy up there when I put it together, so I would strongly recommend that you do. Especially if you use a heavier engine like my YS120. At least this will be an easy repair.
