Hey,

Years ago I lost the right half of my Four Star .60 with Saito 91. There was a huge wind that was on an angle, when I started to do the second loop of a vertical 8 someone shouted that something fell of my plane. Landed it like as if it were 100% airworthy and the whole section was missing. Lucky for me that the elevator control horn was on the other side, or I would have been toast. I had built the kit my self, so it wasn't a lack of glue that caused it. I rebuilt the elevator and rudder from solid balsa core, with hardwood inserts for strength and then sheeted it with balsa. 5 years later, still flying.

Cheers,

Sebastian
