Saturday was awesome! This little devil is a great flyer. Went out Sunday to get some more time in. Three time up everything was fine. Then the fourth flight came. After making two turns, trying to circle the field, she pitched down and went into a tight roll. Crash bang boom. Luckily I was able to regain some control and managed not to nose her into the ground. The tail section was removed from the fuselage. During the repair process I discovered the nose weight had come loose and was floating around inside the fuselage. I guess that is where the down pitch came from. Still not sure what caused the roll. Alerions binding? Anyway I have Friday off so guess where I will be.


FatOrangeKat, I was happily surprised when my sonic showed up. The over all quality of the model is good. The hardware package has it's good points and bad points. I would not be afraid to purchase another one. Damn this thing was cheep!! The only complaint I really have is the color pattern. The base color is white, the side of the fuselage, tops of the wing, and the sides of the stabilizers are red, yellow, blue, and black. But look at the bottom of the wing and stabilizer and it is a crazy green checker board. YUCK!![:'(] The pictures on towers page did not show this. Hope this helps..


Later
