She lives!!

I moved the CG back a tad, and hovering is now nearly effortless. I was just grinning ear to ear when I decided to pullout... a funny noise came, and soon I saw my prop flying off (didn't put double nut on the saito). $#@%$^# I thought to myself as my ST went down nose first in an effort to gain air speed. I started to make a pull, but then I pulled too hard on the elevator, causing an Aunt Jemima (aka Pancake). The gear flexed and delaminated... but is still intact. Everthing else is ok also except for the firewall coming off a bit, and one of the SFG has a little crack. I couldn't believe how much of this bird survived that Aunt Jemima from 20 feet.!!!

So now I know, it flies great, and also durable as heck!
