Default RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

Hi guys, I have built and flown the RB in its standard guise and its flies great.... Standard Spring air retracts with wire legs and a Magnum 120 FS, on my first flight the retracts tore out, was an easy fix last week the tailplanes sheared from the fuselage ( looked like a dragonfly at the back ;-) amazingly I got it back and just to back a few of you guys and maybe shove up TT just a little ( overall am very impressed) I though it a perfect time to check the carbon rod breaking ribs issue and I need to tell you all that it was all stilll holding together, just the root rib let go then the ensuing forces tore the rest out, been trying to get replacment parts here but so far no luck from the supplier ;-(
One other thing, I also reduced the downt thrust on mine and it flew better in speed dives (less tendency to want to pull up, strange it seems doesnt it)
