Great Planes Pitts--cabane brackets--again
I agree, it is a wonderful plane, and flies great. However, things like this really do need to be addressed properly.
When a modeler spends $400 for the plane, $550 for an engine, $450 on a radio system, $200 on servos, $150 smoke system, plus several other accessories the total price of the plane get's very expensive to loose because of some 25 cent piece of metal decided to fail at an in opertune moment, is rediculus.
The way the bottom half of the bracket is held unmoveable, the only place for it to "flex" is at the bend, The flying wires help to eliminate some of the rocking motion of the top wing, but not all of it. But I think a semiflexible material would eliminate the problem altogether, such as a strong nylon "T" shape extrution.
I'm all for helping come up with ideas to help our models last longer, and fly better.
