I might as well bring them all out of the closet.

My Tensor, after multiple repairs, great learning machine. I decided that it was getting way too heavy

**Boulder** · 03-25-2006, 08:45 AM

Now for my Excelleron, before the gear plate repair.

Here is my CG 330 after I strained it through a tree, video is in the Media area.

It went into battery failsafe, didn't realize what was happening until I was too close to the trees to recover. I guess I shouldn't have been over the trees in the first place

. I'm over it

Lowkey3D · 03-25-2006, 04:49 PM

OK here's my before and after.. Tree reached up and grabbed it. Sucked it right down
to the ground..

treym7 · 03-25-2006, 08:41 PM

Here is a pic of my old Funtana 40. Pics were taken at the field before flight and after maiden. Last 2 pics are the cause of the crash. I was flying the maiden and was doing an aileron roll, then we all heard a loud snap. Some thought the wings had snapped, but it was the clevis pins snapping out. Could not do much with both ailerons flapping in the wind. Horizon ended up sending me a new plane.

youngflyer · 03-26-2006, 01:05 AM

Boogie · 03-26-2006, 08:14 AM

I never use plastic clevises on my surfaces, I use them only on throttle.

krashmaster81 · 03-26-2006, 10:29 AM

plastic clevises are CRAP!!! I always throw em away. Lost a Q500 racer to a plastic clevis once, that was all it took.
