Hello Frank
I ordered it through the hobby shop, he got it from cedar hobbies and he always gives me a better price plus i dont have to pay for shipping, can you believe it i took my c-160 to the field this afternoon a nice day, and another guy tried out his prime cut for the first time and it went well, i took off and done a few loops a roll and landed but my idle was a little high so i gave her a few clicks down and it run so nice today to i was just going to go around the strip to do another landing, im just a sport pilot but a good pilot, on take off one engine started to quit so i cut the throttle right back but it quit anyways on take off and the right wing dropped and went right into a spin and unable to get it out and down she went, i have not crashed a plane for over five years but this past month i have put this makes the third one down, if i had mg servos i would not have lost the first one the second was my fault, so i go to find a pile of wood and where do i find it, right in the middle of a swamp a small swamp but a really muddy swamp, the plane was upright and from what i could see did not hurt a thing, finally after getting to it one step at a time sinking up to my butt, i got the plane and then getting back to the ground was another story, muckall the way one step at a time i got it out and the wing was a little bit off of course it was soaked, other then a few scratches it didnt hurt a thing, i had to pull the wing off leaving the third bolt there still into the block of wood that holds in on and the servo arm that holds the front tires on broke other then that i took the wing off and draines the fuel and there was no water in the engines so i refueled it and they both started right up and ran great, got to do some patching but it seemed that it could of been so much worst, so what do i do i buy another twin that i am sure that i will love it as much as i love the c-160 it flies so nice and will again, rollie
