Default RE: Composite-ARF Lightning Build Thread

ORIGINAL: Edbaker

I find it hard to believe that with all the Lightnings out there flying and only 1 issue that there is a design problem. You guys are looking at the crash photos, did you not notice that there is a servo screw missing and I could be wrong here but it looks like a plastic servo arm in the photo. Come on, you don't build a $10K airplane and not use all the parts or use cheep parts and then say it a poor design when it breaks. I sure would hate to see CARF's rep hurt if they are not at fault, I for one can't afford to buy a $20K UB. I love my Lightning and will want another one when I wear this one out.
You might be right, in that there is no design problem. Remains to be seen.
Can't help but notice that both the servo and the plastic servo arm are both still in place, so I don't think THAT was it...
