Default RE: Spad to the Bone Dominator Problem

The latest on the ill fated Dominator. I built a new fuse and made it 7" longer hoping that this would help stabilize it. It flew pretty good for about 4 minutes and then it started getting real squirrely again. Before we could get it down it went into a wide spiral (not a spin) and was out of control. It went down in an area out of our normal flying area, which we found to be a great swamp. We searched in knee deep water for several hours but never saw any sign of it. My guess is that it's underwater. We may find it someday as part of a beaverdam. We will never know exactely what its problems were but it was interesting for a while. RIP.
