We got the plane up and flying great last Saturday. I went to fly it Sunday and had a little problem. Smooth landing, tail came down, then a gust of wind picked the plane up about 3-4" and yawed it a couple degrees to the left. When it touched back down the gear shuttered and folded the gear under. DOOH. Nothing more damaged. Greg's helping me put the gear back on... heck, he's doing it and I'm watching.

Had a blast while it was flying though and really love the way the larger birds fly! I'm hooked. That 3MM motor is just great! Even though it's still early in the breakin it starts easy. Greg has some broken in ones and they start in 2-3 flips, if not one. Great running motor at a great price. If he's using them in his planes, what more do I need to know!
