hello all. i am in a little trouble and i need some help... my wife has decided that she wants to fly.... and she can actually fly very well for a beginer...... someone at the feild gave her a .40 trainer... it was in really bad shape but she said she wanted to fix it....so i took her to LHS and got her some monokote and some new tires.... it took me a week and a half to get the airframe fixed and put a engine on it and the radio in it....i took her out to fly it and it did pretty well despite the age and condition of the plane....well here is where the trouble starts..... i noticed that she was having to correct the flight so much she almost over corrected several times so i flew it and found that the controls were way to sensitive....... well being a new pilot myself i did not want to adjust the dual rates myself for fear i would make it worse... i was waiting on my instructor to come out to the feild so he could look at it for me when another guy asked about the plane and wy we quit flying it... i told him the problem and he offerd his help to mess with the radio...he is a very good pilot so i let him set it for easier flight {oops}.......well i started it up and taxied around a bit..... it all looked good so i took it off and holy sh** it was way messed up... i barley touched it and it rolled over on its back and slammed into the ground at full speed

well i guess he didnt adjust it the right way huh? i feel really bad and she cried..... broke my heart

here is my delima i spent all extra funds to get this plane ready so she could fly it.... the wing did not even get a scratch but the fuse is a total loss..............i would never beg for nothin but i really need a new fuse for the wing i have so she can have her own to fly... i tried to let her fly mine but she said she didnt want to because she wanted to fly her own plane

so if anyone has a .40 sized trainer that they dont need i will sure take it off your hands or even just the fuse

every one at the feild said it was a pt 40 but i cant be for sure... i can cover the shipping and maybe a little more if someone can help me out

i have a old tower hobbies power panel with the igniter that plugs into it that i will prepay it forward with if someone needs it

let me know if any of you can help me..................................thanks
