Default APC 12x4

The air was good and thick today...
Temp: 14 C
Humidity around 63%
Baffle removed
12800 RPM

The 46 was twist'n that 12x4 real good... To good in fact that I blew the horizontal stab right off the airframe! Besides a little covering to patch and the construction of a new stab. the damage was minimal considering it nosed straight in.
The plane was a TT Extra 300 Profile. I was never Keen on the stab design on those and it's not the first time it has been blown off. For those interested in profiles I would tend to find one with a solid balsa stab instead of one that has been stick framed.
TT states the flying weight at 4 lbs. BULL$#IT! Standart servos and a 46FX - 84 oz's.

Happy Fly'n....
