hi, sorry to hear that

what is the AUW of your split. i also have a split and had lots of fun with it. it's all stock, weight only 8.7oz with a 2 cells 1020 kokam. can do loop with slight dive, roll is okay. Very responsive, not very good in wind > 10mph though

the elv is very touchy. the CG is right on what the manual said

I usually fly at a baseball field, and that's big enough to do slow and low passes right in front of me.

It is definitely not a boink and go airplane, but most of the fixes were less than 10 minutes with tapes and epoxy

I broke the nose many times when i was trimming it. now i DON'T glue it back to the fuse anymore, i just used 0.5 inch wide strapping tape to tape it back, it holds really well, i just need to replace the tape every few days. you might want to use some rubbing alcohol to clean the corroplast. i have no problem with the supplied tape.

have fun
