Default My fears were realized

After carefully drying and reglueing the plane, and having it checked by an experienced modeler, I took the 4* out yesterday. 5 Minutes into the first flight, the firewall seperated from the fuse, and she went into the ground from 200 feet up and about 80 MPH. Plane is totaled. Saito 100 is totaled. Radio is totaled.

Sig's leaky tank cost me about $550 yesterday. The tech's advice carried about as much weight as a ball of belly button lint. Thanks alot SIG!
