Default RE: Nitro models planes

Due to my stupidity, I had a downwind deadstick landing last night, and tore the landing gear off with the wood still attached. lol Now it has a serious piece of plywood down there, and the gear is attached with sheet metal screws. I put the screws in, then hardened the threads with thin ca before attaching the gear. It is torqued down read good, and that wood won't be coming out any time soon. Now I just need another Hitec HS81 servo for one aleron (got stripped in the ordeal), and a small piece of red monokote, and it's ready for action again. The plane fly's great, but it sure don't like anything below half throttle, and it has to come in pretty hot, but im gettin the hang of it. It sure isn't a boreing plane to fly, thats for sure...
