Hello all, I flew my Spirit Elite ARF all last year, it flies well but not as well as I had hoped.
Even though I never hit a tip on landing I did have some small cracks appear in the right front and left rear top of the wing saddle. I re-enforced along both sides of the wing saddle with 1/8" X 1/4" hard balsa epoxied in, hope it holds. I think the damage may have happened dragging a flap in the grass on landing, I did strip a flap servo. The wing by the way will take full pedal launches with a Ford long shaft winch. I would like to get the weight down, a carbon wing joiner and carbon push rods might help. Del Schier K1UHF Everything below 50MHz is D.C. !!!
