RE: Great Planes Reactor in Flight Elevator Failure on First Flight
So, I contacted Tower Hobbies and they shipped a replacement tail. I replaced the elevator. I then tested the servo and found the elevator servo gears had been damaged so I replaced the elevator servo as well. I then went out to test the plane. I flew around on half power just enough to maintain altitude. I did a split S into the wind. The elevator fluttered, broke, and the plane was destroyed on "landing". I think the Reactor EP is sensitive to elevator flutter. The design is defective. I am shipping the carcass of the plane to Tower Hobbies for evaluation but this is absurdly poor design. [img][/img]
