Blasinator:

I am suprised that the Tricycle gear conversion did'nt make it a winner!?????
So.... It helps the cartwheeling, but not the tipstall bouncy landings???/


Foodstick:
Thank you very much for your detailed account of your findings..... But, Holly Molly bat man! I didn't think that would happen!!

Perhaps it is due to the shape (curved) or that it doesn't have the holes drilled in it like the Trojan???
This plane has a flap in the middle but has holes in it....
I though it was due to the short fuse length but the Trojan is a short nosed as well...
It sounds like the air-brake is working TOOOO well! Stoping it in its tracks???
Being you went this far, why not try drilling some large holes in it and try again???/
Just don't crash it!! (I would have to clean my shorts after that event)
