Default Fun-Flys are supposed to be fun!!!!!!

This is how my Sig SE returned from this mornings Fun-fly. A streamer drop went horribly wrong I pulled up vertical (low to the ground) to drop the streamer and the string of the streamer got tangled up in my rudder and elevator a brought me down (notice how the rudder hinges have been pulled out even thought the tail section is undamaged) The wing halves are undamaged except for the wing tips and the fuselage has been pretty much re-kited. It may be possible to rebuild the fuselage but considering how simple the construction is it would probably take less time just to build another fuse.

That looks like an easy fix. I think it would be easier to repair the fuse
than to build another one. [sm=thumbup.gif]

Sorry for the loss...

The SE is so simple to build it's almost as easy as an ARF. I could get one ready to fly in 20 hours from NIB status.

It would only be fun if you had a video.
