Im happy this thread has helped others.

I had about 40 flights on the ole 4 star and the engine (TT Pro 46) was tuned in nicley. All the electronics seem to be operating correctly. I have a theory the battery came loose and offset the CG or got tangled in with the elevator servo. I did not have the battery secured very well. I was into a gradual left turn when she just kept thru the turn and rolled over from about 40 feet. I never did find the battery after the debris clean-up.

I just wish I took more pictures of the ole girl before she went down.

!can't believe all the attention/interest that a really basic, simple kit like the 4* can get. FWIW

Maybe the people that post in 4 Star threads, like 4 Stars. A kit doesn't have to be complicated to be interesting. Maybe the first kit for many people was the 4 Star and they can relate to it.

Just like some people can relate to crapping on threads and providing no useful input.

Your FWIW.......

......wasn't worth diddly squat....

......but thanks for your comment anyways.
