Default RE: CRASHED P-40 TODAY!

No it wasn't flutter...I suspect that the horizontal stab was built weak.in a tight turn it had plenty of G's on that stab and it broke right at the fuse..the whole half came off.. the other damage was cause by the parts thrashing around until it met terra ferma![X(]
You can see one half still attached,the other half of the stab was lost in the high grass.
I seen the H9 P-40 in the LHS today, it really looked nice,im concerned now with the post of, THAT stab breaking![]
I have got to have another P-40 and it would be nice to use the engine from this one but it looks like nobody has a P-40 that looks good in that size.[&o]
The Magnum 91 is back up to 199.00 now too,I hate to have to get another engine but looks like a new engine and H9 plane is in order!
