Default U Can Do 3D -- WARNING!!!

If the problem is the tail only, then you need only send us the tail, and we will replace it alone for you. If you tell us your crashed the plane and want a new one, we'd need the whole plane back...

What propeller are you running?
What are you using for elevator servos?

Please, don't take offense to my questions. Please let me explain why I ask....

This model has been tested in severe abuse conditions, both pre-production and production models, and we were unable to fail anything -- EXCEPT when flying the model at excessive speeds, such as full throttle dives on an 8-pitch prop -- or using inexpensive poor quality servos which provided little centering capabilities and allowed for such flutter.

An aircraft such as this can't be looked at as a toss about 40 sized sport plane; this is a large, high performance highly capable aerobatic bird which requires special attention to certain areas -- specifically, high quality servos with sufficient torque to support the incredible range of motion of the servos/surfaces, and proper choice of propeller to protect the model from high speeds, esp in dives.
