Tall grass likes to reach out and grab counterbalances. Nothing some thin ca and packing tape can't fix though.

Lol. Here is video from when it happened. When it happens I rolled to the left a bit so I actually think it hit the ground and not just the grass.

Thanks Terry, but I'm now one step closer to my Viper right ????
I'm going to get my 42% composite Sbach flying next thanks in large part to Alvie, then I'll be getting the Viper for the gear from the edge

Cool, I have personally stress tested the hell out of the Viper and I am still flying the only prototype. I did some things to it I never do with my planes before they ordered the first batch. I'm confident you will not have this issue.

Hey, you should come up to the Black Hills air ralley in August. You can fly my Viper all you want.
