Doh, I had thought I posted back about its demise. Must have been a different thread. Well after lots of great fun with my zero I was at the field with a buddy of mine. He had his P51 in the air and I had my zero in the air. We were dogfighting around and having a blast. I was up about 7 minutes of hard banks, loops, ect. I came for a slow strafe across the field. My buddy flew his p51 into a dive and came over the top of me. We were laughing, ect. and then he jokingly made gun sounds like he was shooting me down. I was 3/4 the length of the field when I started to pull back slowly to gain some altitude. Plane just kept sinking... sinking... impact. I was only about 20 feet up but once it nosed in it flipped and was splinters. No body at the field could believe it. There were about 10 witnesses and as bad as everyone felt about the plane we laughed our butts off. It was the most scale shoot down ever. What are the odds. My buddy landed and we went out to the wreck. Receiver was fine and battery was still attached and working. Then I found the problem. When building I saw the tips of others about the lack of quality of the hardware. I inspected mine and noticed the plastic clevises were of a harder plastic than most. I found a couple I didn't trust and replaced them. Well one of the originals made it to my elevator and had been broken. All the dubro plastic clevises I used were fine. This was the only broken clevis. If I remember right I cheated on this plane and linked the two elevator halves together with a rod at the tail and only ran one control rod to the rear of one of the elevators. If I remember right the plans had called for a control rod on each side or a solder Y control rod with clevises on both elevator halves. If I had used either of these methods I probably could have brought it back home with one elevator half functioning (I did it before with a 1/2A texan). So, I chalk it up to my fault and if you haven't gone over your hardware I suggest replacing ALL original plastic clevises with dubro. The hard plastic of the originals just snap instead of flexing.
