Nope, Ed.

It was full throttle on the backside of a loop... gravity had something to say about it....

Not the airframe's fault at all...

This doesn't make any sense to me. Who would sell a model that when powered by a recommended engine (size wise) could not complete a full throttle loop without structural failure, OTHER than a fun fly or 3D plane? Things must have changed, I suppose.

Of course, if there was a warning in the instruction manual about such maneuvers, that would be a valid excuse.

I don't usually have full power applied on the backside of a loop. I'm in no hurry to go anywhere, especially with a model airplane such as the Rascal. What a beauty.

There was a fellow at our old club's flying field (ERAM) that was flying the Rascal 40 powered by a Super Tigre GS40. I was amazed at how the model flew and how powerful the GS40 was. That was a sweet combination.
