Segment 2
The Tango 50 was a disaster. Wings moved up and down 3" each way in wing saddle. Attached flying wires from wingtip to top of profile body.
!st flight horizontal stabilizer broke off on one side. Added 3/4" 90 degree balsa bracing. 2nd flight the other side broke off, luked out both times as plane fluttered down under partial control.
Installed 3/8" solid balsa horizontal stabilizer and wires.
Installed a 90 engine as plane too heavy for a 50. Expected unlimited verical. Plane peters out in vertical. Plane now flys but is not stable and not capable of 3D.
