Wow! Im sorry to hear that. [] stuck wot is my biggest fear next to loss of elevator control. I lost a model once due to a broken clevis,on the elevator.
Your locktite didnt hold? You could use an allen head screw and drill a small hole on one side and then run a wire through it and secure it to a motormount bolt. This would be a sure hold, unless the threads in the carb body are stripped.

Well, I took my plane out and did a range check, engine off, engine running, taxied it around. Then checked that all the bolts were tight conections secure, etc. Waiting for some lower winds.
Kansas is a windy state and if you dont like to fly when its windy, you dont fly much here.
The windy season should have let up mid June but hasnt yet, This is my first cap and I didnt feel comfortable maiden flying it in
15-18 mph winds. I could have flown i guess but in makes it a lot harder to trim.
Btw what throw settings did you end up going with? Ill bet you stayed on low rates for that flight though, o boy
