My first instructor had one of the giants. He was going to sell it to me, just the air frame, but it did't pass my gage. IEit wouldn't quite fit into my car. Another guy bouht it and he flew it as it should be flown, no mercy. Except one day. one of the wing holding screws broke and the wing rotated on the tube and well, not much left from there.

My flight time on a UCD60 was just about 3 seconds. 2.75 of them was spent trying to right the left hand roll when it lifted off and the last 0.25 seconds was realizing I had the alierons reversed, CRUNCH. I salvaged everything but the fuselage, it was really crunched. Minor damage on the wing. Might buy a fuselage one of these days and put it back together.
