yes, rudder is where my weakness is for sure. i keep replaying the scenario in my head thinking of all the things i could have done differently like give rudder to try and correct but my brain just wasn't that fast. the damage is pretty extensive to the fuse that i think i'm just going to replace the whole kit rather than try and rebuild this one. i can keep the older one for parts in case of a future mishap.

Thanks for the offer rick, we should definitely work on rudder control when you have time. I appreciate the offer for the trainer but i wouldn't want to risk crashing yours too. i should be able to get a new plane up and built in a few weeks.

where is the big bird in alvin? i might go for a bit since thats on my side of town.
