Oh also. Seal your hinge gaps.

I originally had the 103 in there and all was dandy. But as soon as I threw the 130 in there I was getting flutter on the ailerons on the WOT passes.

Of course check which rudder servo spot gives you the best cg. Right now I have mine in the pull-pull spot with some 2200 3s's against the wing tube it feels pretty good, but I have zero room to move the cg back any further.

I will seal up the gaps for sure. I am putting the servo in the tail. It is V3 so thats the spot. Just wondering how the wheel pants are in grass? Other than that long as my repair job holds I should be good to go.

My experience suggests that you should leave the wheel pants off if you are flying in grass.

Thanks, I guess it is kind of obvious. I never have flown with pants on. It is usually camo cargo shorts. whaaa whaaaaaa!

Bad day for my SHP. Torque rolling a few feet off the ground, and I see the prop fly off(with the casing for the motor), and my shp fall straight on it's tail. The main shaft in my Omega 130 broke off. Repairable, but it sucks having to patch up a brand new plane. The elevator was knocked out of the fuse, counter balance was broken on one side of the elevator, and one aileron is smashed. Luckily the rudder was slightly deflected, so it fully deflected when it hit the ground and doesn't have a scratch on it. I'm going to replace the rudder and elevator servo to be on the safe side. I don't know what's up with every single one of my planes having mechanical issues and crapping out on me, back to nothing flying :cursing:

Damn!!!!

Damn!!!!

Could have been a whole lot worse, a let down for sure, but got parts/motor on the way now, should be good as new within a week

good luck with the repairs, post a few pics of how you do it

It's all very simple, gonna leave the horizontal stab as it has some of the sheeting from the fuse still attached, and use a new elevator(I could still use the old one, but don't want to look at a patch on an essentially brand new plane), and I should be able to go in from the bottom of the aileron and place it all back together without looking repaired.
Until then though I have full reign over my dads 64 mxs and yak exp, so things are looking up a bit now

Same thing always happens to me about this time of year - all out of planes! Well almost - Vyper 65 is keeping me sane till the new 71 in Slick arrives, among others.
