Default RE: Revenger flight after 30 years

Hi Bob,
Thank you so much for the post. I wish you would post the pictures. I had forgotten all about the Rustler. You are right about the design. It was one that I had designed between the Integra and the Revenger. Your Dad and I would have probably produced it had we not sold Allied Hobbies MFG..

The original Revenger photos I posted earlier crashed turning final after the fourth flight. I had seen some stress cracks in the tail (and should have paid more attention to them); but why not a few cracks after over 1100 flights and thirty years. Apparently after doing some high stress aerobatics, it was more than the tail could handle and snapped off as I was turning final. I still have another that is built but not finished that I will complete and fly soon.

I will take a few pictures of it and post later.

I will call you this weekend (8-9-08)

Dick
