Tripp,

Thanks for the pics of the ailerons. I wanted to get the general idea of length needed.

Well.. It was a trying day at the field. MyEdge 540t wild Hare took a dirt nap. It was running amazing. the ZDZ40 was purring. I had about 5 flights with no mishap. I tooks the "last flight" of the day. I was doing Blenders and they looked fine. I went to pull out of one and my nose just pointed to the ground. I was trying to pull up but the elevator wasn't evevating. It crashed nose first into the plowed cornfield next to our runway. Needs alot of work to get it back. The 3.5 inch spinner shattered. The wings are in great shape. (balsa over foam) When I brought it home I found that one of the elevator servos had stripped gears inside. I don't think it happened on impact. The rest of the tail and rudder surfaces didn't even get damaged. That would explain why I couldn't pull out. Boy do these planes have a death sentence once they're built.

Well, I'll keep on working on the pitts for now

I love the Carbon Fiber Spinner. What brand/size is it? It looks awesome on the pitts.


Later,

Dan
