You lost a wing that way too eh? Me too, and on my first flight. The fuse was demolished, but the wings and tail survived, so I built another fuse and it flew great. Coming from R/E electrics, poly sailplanes, etc the Electro Streak was a trip! Wow- this plane goes EXACTLY where I point it.

My setup was milk-toast 6 cell/ goldfire motor with a tornado 8-6, using the Futaba integrated speed controller/receiver. I flew the wheels off of that plane. I think at last count it was over 500 flights and was still useable, though worse for wear, when I gave it away a year ago.

I still plan on building another one. I have the plans, and its such a basic kit that the sky's the limit for modifications. I think lighter weight is KEY. Feathermerchants at 22 ounces should go like crazy and land rather easily. Mine was 34 ounces and was a touch hot on landing, but I learned how to judge the speed and altitude and scrub off some speed before the 50 foot slide.

A year after my maiden crash, a guy who used to swat golf balls around at the same school yard that I flew at and eyed the Electro Streak and asked "Is that the same one you crashed?". He had seem me spear it into the mud a year before.

All in all, a well designed, simple kit. Cant understand why Great Planes dropped it, but I guess people want ARFs more.
