This thread has been quiet for a while. Our club had a Warbird Fly-In this Saturday. Took the Whopper and had a couple of heli guys check it out. Told them about all the caveats and we decided to have one of them fly it.
Good news, it flew twice. Bad news, not very well and not very far.
First crash loosened up one fo the tail feathers. Second flight took off tail feathers and bent the rudder connecting rod and broke it's attachment. Put a hole in the fuse.
Oh, well. See if I can repair everything.
