Unfortunately, my road test was only up to 55 MPH when the tie down came loose !

Watching in the rear view as the Dragon Lady fuselage literally "flew" up and over the tail gate and into following rush hour traffic on a four lane is not an experience I would recommend or want to repeat.

Fortunately, the OS 90 2-stroke and the receiver
survived (and so did I by some deft broken field running retreiving the remains), but the rest was
very small bits of balsa dust and plastic servo parts.

Convinced me that a FG bed cover was a necessity.

Live and learn ... that's the R/C hobby.
