Default RE: Altair 200 crash.

My Angel's Shadow did that a few years ago. I had purchased it second hand from Sean McMurtry and the horizontal stab delaminated turning the plane into a "lawn dart". Complete loss including the engine. The manufacturer (from Russia) stood behind the plane and offered me a completely new airframe for his cost including shipping. I thought it was way beyond what was expected by the manufacturer since I knew the plane was bought 2nd hand. Here's a copy of the thread's address:

The new airframe was perfect...
