Default RE: CMP Zero Makeover

Ouch! Was it a corsair. They're pretty ruthless I hear.

I mounted my elev servos up by the cg and still had to build a led box over the engine. 2lbs of led. But flys good with a saito 120 at 14lbs 3oz. The cmp (71") zero wing is pretty stout. I did an unintentional wounded carrier landing, yeah thats it! It hit pretty hard and bounced up high and nose high attitude. Recipe for disaster. But I was able to power thru it and stay airborn for another pass and greased it right in. A couple of ribs split on both sides of the retract mount but held together to make a good landing. Just wish I had done that on the previous landing. I only have about 5 flights on it but all, with this exception, have be great. Should be an easy fix.
