Whoa is me!!![&o]
I just crashed and totaled my CG Extra yesterday.....
It was the best flying/handling airframe that I have ever laid my hands on in 20+ yrs of modeling....
Anybody know where I can find a kit or templates to build from my plans??
Oh no! You have my full condolences and more.
True about the CG Extra, it flies on rails. I was flying my Seagull Edge 46 this afternoon and watching it on a straight and level flyby is
not an esthetically pleasing experience. As a matter of fact, it's the opposite. Twitchy hands off.
The point of this message is on the third flight I hot dogged with wings vertical, cranking it so hard on the turn to final that it dropped out of the sky. Only the wings of the airframe survived. No tears, no worries. Ordered a fuse and tail feathers when I got home.
On the way home from the field my son said something like, "You'd be inconsolable if you crashed your Extra." The fact is, he's right. Then I'd build another one.
Brian - isn't that about the prettiest wing you've ever seen? True about the covering, but I'm sure it'll look great without the covering with some sanding.
