I have a Mantis. Wings never rotate on me during flight but do so frequently on landing. You have to change the friction(sandpaper) paper once in a while as it tears/wears out. I have been told every ugly comment about my plane but when I thermal out from a 25-30 ft pop off or hand launch then come in and stuff the plane harder than would be surviveable by anything else out there except a foamy, it more than makes up for the razzing. -----Original Message----- From: Nick P Wisdom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, March 01, 2001 10:34 AM Subject: [RCSE] Mantis Question >Does the mantis pylon wing system single bolt idea work? Does it truly rotate and prevent wing tip damage? Ever rotate when you dont want it to? Pretty cool idea. Something about controversy stirs up interest.
