Default 300s for 3d work

Oh wow, sorry about that.

Ya i add some tri stock to the gear area. No problems with the gear pulling out. I haven't landed hard but its kinda hard to land hard when the plane floats in like a glider !!

I-mac.....the plane tracks like its on rails. Very little down when inverted and all most no coupling in KE. Up and down lines are nice and strait. Snap's were a little weird, they would take a little to start then they would just go! So i put a pull/pull on the rudder and they start "right now" now.

3D.... Pretty good. A little funny in hover. The harriers rock a bit until you get the plane right at 45 deg, then it locks in. Kinda hard to hold it there when you do a turn but it goes down the field no prob like that. Tumbles are really, really cool. All kinda weird thing going on there ! LOL. Flat spins are dead flat. Blenders look pretty sweet and are east to get in to.

The tip spin....................This move never fails to get howls from the guys in the pits. The wing gets strait up and down and then with a little throttle the fuse spins around the wing like a top. I do about half the alt with that and then finish in to a blender. Really pretty to watch.

I haven't flown the plane in a while do to the fact that i let someone at the field fly it and he flew it too fast. I heard it flutter and he back off pretty quick. He handed me the radio, I got 1/2 way rout a rolling circle before the motor ran out of fuel. So i landed. I checked it out when i got home and the right stab crack enough to allow it to flex about 4 inch's and on the left side, only one hinge was holding the elevator on. I have just been too busy to fix it.
