Sorry to see and hear that happened. I just wanted you to know that Great Planes (Hobby Services) is EXCELLENT in taking care of problems. My Patty now has 79 flights on it and with a few minor problems, that Great Planes took care of immediately, it's still alive. I've been told by Lisa at Hobby Services that the best way to rectify problems so that they too have an idea of what's happening with their products is to send the defective part to them. Maybe a phone call with e-mails and picture attachement will suffice for them. I too am interested in the amount of flying time you had on the plane. Again, sorry to see such a beautiful plane go down... I guess I'm sorry to see any plane go down.
