Default RE: hobbico spectrum

I flew one of these a few years back, and it flew nicely right up to the point where the stabs ripped off in s&l flight. The plane was almost new and had been built by a very experienced guy, trouble is being one of the first of the modern ARTFs no-one really knew where the inherent weaknesses in artfs were (like - the tail structure, u/c plates etc).

Strongly suggest that you at least check under the covering at the back and if necessary add some 1/32 ply doublers around the tail. Other than that it seemed to be a good plane!
