Default RE: FIXACRASH

Joefroo - Wing is fine, it hit on one wing tip, separated the seam that is butted up to the balsa, it is fiber-glas wing tip's. On these Intruder's, I join the wing halve's, glass the center section, just like a foam wing.
I had a write up on the first post, too much to read. This is Intruder #3. This fuselage broke at the exact place that Intruder #1 broke at the Apopka contest over two years ago. Downwind turn on final, cut throttle little too soon, it just fell out of the air, high speed stall? Fell nose down into a sand pit, you could almost mate these fuselage's together, both broke right in front of the dorsal fin. Many years ago, flying Goldberg Falcon 56's, a hard landing, the fuselage would crack right in front of the stab.

I will glass this area, monokote, will be like new. These WM Intruder's are stripped of the factory film, monokote applied.
