Default RE: Vector Flight Xtra 300 66" build

Hey 4Stroke, no, unfortunatly it hasn't flown YET!!!. When out to our field Sunday and couldn't get the YS to cooperate again. I plan to pull it from the plane and put it back on the stand. I've run almost a gallon of fuel @ $18.95 and still can't get it to run right. Soooooooooo, I gassed up my Big Boy and it's not running right either but I"m used to how it acts so I felt confident it would fly. As soon as I got airborne, about 100ft, she quits. I mean it sounded like I hit the switch. No stuttering or nothing, just silence. Well I turned back to the field in westerly direction and was way too fast. It set down past the end of the strip and I think all would have been ok but it rolled over some deep ruts made by a truck or something and out came the gear and mount. A little crush spot on the leading edge which I won't bother to fix and, a very small hole in the cover of the wing. Sooooooooooo, I've got five planes and only one flying at this time,,, the Twist.[&o]
