I guess I'm gonna have to give up on tapered wing planes and stay with a constant chord. So far I destroyed a VMar Extra 300L and now my Hanger 9 Cap 232 Sport .40.
Seems like the VMar Extra just fell out of the sky for no reason.
With my Cap, on my third flight, the Saito .72 would not tune to full power, but enough to fly the plane. After about five minutes the engine quit and I made the deadstick like I would my Tiger 2.
BIG MISTAKE! When it flamed out, I had the wind behind me. about 100ft up. I coaxed it 180 degrees to pick up the wind for lift, and when I got it around and heading for me, it dropped like a rock from about 20 feet. Saw the wing fly off and knew I had serious damage. The engine was imbedded in the fiewall at an angle..both control pushrods snapped...servo tray broke loose...canopy crushed and it looked like it was a total loss. The wing was sound, althougn my nylon bolts did not snap like they should and took the wing plate and some of the fuse with them. The fuse aft of the canopy was sound as were the tailfeathers. Don't you hate to see a new plane all crunched? I analyzed it later and decided to keep whatever heading I have and keep the momentum and land as flat as possible with no turns, banks or the like, should I lose the engine. I have deadsticked all my other planes with no damage whatever and was always pleased that I made the runway, but you can not fly the Cap that way. We apparently had a serious tip-stall.

I did not touch it for a few days, as I was about to trash it. Why is it, after we get over the shock, we start trying a little CA to see if it can be joined and rebuilt?

Now that I learned my lesson, I am not going to let it defeat me. I am halfway through the repair and looking for a canopy when Horizon answers my mail. This is a nice ARF, and in the right hands, a good flyer. Hellofa learning experience, tho.
Was a dumb thing to do, but maybe this will make a newbie aware of these flight characteristics.
