airwild 35% 260. Jeff did do a good job crashing to minimize damage though.

It's the Airwild 300L (well, 330L). Seeing it in person confirms that it is about the ugliest 300L I have ever seen! Wings seem way out of proportion, nose is too long and tail moment is too short. Seemed to fly the freestyle stuff OK, though.

The Kit was a Coilombo Anderson 38% Extra. There is a full rib of 1/8" lite ply at the end of the tube. What I think happened is that the wing tube shifted to one side thus bringing the end of the wing tube on the other wing to the inside of this rib where there is no support. the wings come pre sheeted so there is nothing else you could do but put a stop in the phenolic before the phenolic is installed. If the airplane is built the hose clamp method works just fine. Shawn |

Shawn, Jeff flew the CA after the wing came off in flight on his Airwild Extra. He did not loose the CA's wing. Look up the thread "good and bad pics" and you will see his Airwild Extra without the wing.

You guys are correct.....as I spoke with Jeffrey numerous times on Sunday. I was wrong the 260...it is the AIRWILD 300 or 330 (whatever they call it) and its a 35%. He was offered Zak's West 35% QQ Yak to fly instead (which used to be Magoo's but he sold it to Zak a few weeks back for freestyle). He declined and decided to fly the CA EXTRA He was worried if he wrang out the CA that it would explode so he flew somewhat conservative. If you call a 2ft high slow roll down the runway conservative. Jeff flew good all weekend.....as did Matt.
