Thanks everyone.

g-pace · 06-21-2009, 06:54 PM

I flew mine for the first time yesterday and the whole turtledeck flew off the plane and dented the right stab. I was not even going fast, I was just on my first flight getting a feel for it and trimming it. The mounting points are still bolted in the fuse. I think the factory did not glue it good and hopefully they will agree when I call them on monday. Has anyone ever heard of this happening ?

Oilsands · 06-21-2009, 11:49 PM

Sorry to hear that. I never ha an issue with mine nor have heard of this happening before.

You said turtle deck. Did you mean canopy?

the whole hatch that the canopy is mounted on. the canopy got cracked too. The mounts to the hatch are still bolted in the fuse. I,v only seen this happen when the dowls in the front came out, but mine are still glued in.This realy scewed up my day.

sweetpea · 06-22-2009, 02:01 AM

The turtle deck is behind the canopy. Sounds like you lost your hatch, what the canopy glues/screws onto. I've never heard of this happening to this particular plane but I've seen it personally happen on other planes.

They took good care of me . It was possibly cracked and I did not notice. It was a low cost repair for me and the parts are on the way. Good guy at PAU ! very helpfull Im happy now

Oilsands · 06-23-2009, 03:44 AM

Glad to hear. They seem to have that reputation of looking after a customer, I am very happy with their service and products.

Oilsands · 07-04-2009, 05:09 PM

Well, I ordered another one. I was going to wait till this fall, but could not hold out any longer. Should be here next week sometime. Hopefully it will be flying before the end of July.

g-pace · 07-06-2009, 11:53 AM

I flew the ultimate on thursday with no problems. That dle 111 seems to run great so far with lots of power for this plane. Got 1.5 gallons through it so far. cant wait until it breaks in.
