Amazing, this thread seems to grow by the second. There's got to be several pages added since the last time I checked in! So much has happened!

Gary, congratulations on your second flight report! Awesome description and some really good flying this time. I've been flying this bird for quite a while and it only gets better!

Rcfury, that strap breaking off is a bummer. Hope there's no damage to the plane. Hopefully it will be fine, but it is a good idea just for peace of mind to do a thorough check. On a positive note I think if a plane is banged up a little before it flies, it actually prevents further bad stuff from happening! Call me superstitious if you must! Just my personal experience!
