No, but DONT USE THE SUPPLIED PUSHRODS!!! They are too weak, and can flex if you pull up too fast. Then, they start to flex all the time, and it makes trimming impossible.

Watch out for this plane. I have had a wing tear off in level flight flight and the aluminum engine mount crack on the right side. Several of guys around here are having trouble with the mount. It always seem to break through the engine mount bolt holes.

How in the world did you get the wing to break in flight? Either your UPS man drove over it on the way to your house or you cut through the sheeting when you cut the covering off the center of the wing. Mine will roll faster then you can count and do 15ft
loops at full power.

Don't know what happened . I was careful not to cut into the wing. I called Horizon and told them about it . They asked me to send the plane to them so they could examine it to see if there was any structal /design.or factory assembly problems. I waited for a reply, then about 10 days later I received a new plane. The note that was with it said they could not find anything that may have caused it . But you can't expect for them to say it was a design or factory assembly problem. Anyway I also told them about the aluminum motor mount and they wanted it also. Have not heard from them about that. They said they would send me a new mount but I made one from steel and told them not to send it that I felt better with the steel one..

A friend had his spar fail right in the middle of the fuse. He took off, and he said it was flying really weird, so he landed, and checked the CG. He thought that the CG had moved back, like if the battery came loose or something, but when he picked it up, the wing flexed. It's fixed now, but he sold it.

Thanks for that report Jack01. I have been building and flying airplanes for 45 years so I do know a little about building them..
As good as the PIZAZZ flies I don't think I will have another one.
Just had a friend of mine trade his off two days ago....

Oh yeah, the plane might try to snap on you. I did the test flight on one, and it would snap with full up elevator. I added some up in both ailerons, and it fixed it. I've also heard of people never having that problem. Oh well. Just givin' ya the heads up!
