Design opinions and a reader question

When I cause damage I do it right......

I have had my share of $350 days. I had a SuperStar 60 with a 91 up front. 1 standard servo in the middle didn't make it. I did a high wide loop the servo gear gave up. Heading straight down I was pulling the right stick all the way and nothing happened. Hit the ground, Buried the nose up to the fire wall, The balsa just exploded. And of course because these 4 strokes have that great 45 degree muffler pipe it make for much leverage and snaps the head almost in half, not to mention sucking in dirt which trashed the liner and ring as well. Plus cracking the pump. So about $150 to get the engine fixed. Oh well

I'm gonna post pics of my latest wing later today - right now the sun is shining and I hear the sound of 2 stroke engines......

I look forward to your wing pictures!
Thanks

DB
