RE: Predator tail broke off during flight
I too used to fly the Preditor in pylon. After having two failures of the stab breaking in front of the leading edge which cost me 2 planes, I went to a third Preditor. The firewall and engine departed on this one of which I never found the engine or firewall. Repaired the firewall and installed another TT 40. This time the wing folded. This was enough for me. I fly the Viper now. Much better built and also flies faster and smoother.
