Default RE: SSE: 10oz Tank Help

Em - brotherhood of speed freaks? What's that about? Over 200 mph on the street?

My 1st SSE was, well, a basket case partially built and sold for $25 at an auction. I got it for "services rendered" (get you minds outa the gutta - software installation!). I finished it off and flew I a dozen times. Then I decided to see how she rolled on high rates. Well, one of the 1/4-20 nylon bolts holding a wing on vibrated out. When I hit the stick full left - there went one of the wings flying off into the sunset. A smart butt watching asked why I didn't try flying a knife edge until final approach then roll just before touchdown. Yea, right. Nothing left. A chance to build one from scratch. Mine is waiting to maiden - if the wind would just die down a bit.

Cheers,
