Lee, Your model suffetred much more than my Avistar which just flew away from me into a big black cloud. I cut the engine and spent nearly two hours looking for it on the local race track. gave up and went home, An hour later got a call to say a guy had retrieved the model about a mile from where i lost sight of it. Tail was stuffed but everything else was OK. Flew well on a replacement elevator from a Voyager. Had lots of fun with it till i passed it on to my brother. Favorite at the moment is a Astro Hog with a 70 Magmun 4 stroke. Cheers from Alex, Aotearoa.
