Well I just flew my tiger moth for the first time yesterday. The conditions were perfect. Zero wind and low sun in a high grass field. Unfortunately the elevator trim was a bit off and upon launch it went into a series of stalls nothing higher than 20 feet, but eventually it hit the ground. After 2 crashes I noticed the motor was angled slightly down. Apon further inspection the motor mount "stick" had broken! This was on the second flight! Now I cannot get this "mounting stick" out because it is glued into the fuselage. What can i do? Why would this be made of balsa wood and not hard plastic? Right now 3 nights of construction are wasted along with my Tiger Moth. How disappointing considering it seemed to fly well, for a short time anyway. Anyone have an suggestions??
