What i have to say is you called me right after the crash and told me the jet flew nice after you switched to low elev rates for about 4mins. It was on final when you dorked it??? nothing like the description in the above post.More lies...

Kevin,
I spoke to you on after the crash too and you told me:
1) that it went near vertical on takeoff
2) that you recovered and flew it around for about 4 minutes
3) it fell out of the sky when you were attempting to land
4) you had told Vincent what happened (points 1-3 above)
5) you hoped that Vincent wouldn't post anything about it on RCU (even though people were asking how the maiden went)
6) you asked me not to post anything about it
7) you told me that your story was going to be that it stalled on take off and went in and that you were trying to get a FREE REPLACEMENT KIT from Skymaster (to which I thought, Good Luck)
To me it sounds pretty simple......incorrect elevator setup (you mentioned that you didn't know where to set the elevator at neutral since there were no marks on the fuselage or notes on this in the instructions). Maybe you should have asked someone who has successfully flown the plane.
The thing that really pi$$es me off about this is item 7) above. I don't know how you managed to convince SM to give you another kit but apparently you did. You knew that it was wrong and that you wanted to keep it a secret. Well, it's a small world in the modelling community and the story always gets out.
Your version......
My arrangements with SkyMaster USA include payment for a new Canadian Scheme F18F kit. If SkyMaster USA would like to give me the kit as replacement, FOR FREE, that means no charge, I am more than willing to accept. However as it stands now, it is not a free replacement.
is one of the premier cases of hair-splitting that I've ever seen. I can't see the logic in it, possibly because there isn't any.
I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt. Not anymore. I'm done with you.
