My middle daughter selected this kit for one
to call her own. We were lucky to recover it on its maiden flight.
We soon learned a full A-motor was too much for it.
It's been a regular flier in our fleet for a long time. We usually
fly it on Micro-Maxx or Micro-Maxx II motors. Much more than that
and it can be a long search. It has survived many flights with no
damage only to lose a fin when one young spectator tried to snatch it from
the hand of another. Arrgghhhh!
I tacked the fin back on with a little CA. And gave the young
lad a little bit of what-for. I don't think the message got through, though.

| Recently, it lawndarted in the street.
Ouch!
The nosecone was blunted, and three fins were broken. Here it is,
all put back together. The nosecone was simply sanded
back into shape. Even with the flattening, there is enough
material
there to sand it without sanding through. If I can scrounge up a
Quark decal, that'll be great, but a couple of generic ones will work,
too. |
