I guess I have satisfied the gods of modeling, went flying yesterday and was flying my GP Super Sportster 40 (kit version) when upon rolling to inverted and starting a climb-out the wing separated from the fuselage. It had to be going at least 90 - 100mph at the time, the wing floated down and the fuse became a un-guided rocket hell bent on self destruction. I will add that the field I fly at is surrounded by tall (4-5 foot high) grass and nettles. (ouch!) The fuse continued straight and level flight for about 50feet and then (after I decided now might be a good time to cut the throttle) pointed earthbound impacted the ground. Neither the wing or fuse was to be seen again :-( My daughter and I searched for 3 hours and not a sign of the plane. Guess the model gods (or perhaps demons or maybe even trolls) grabbed it for sacrificial rites. I think they first drink the methanol, who knows what terrible things they do with the battery pack and then toss the plane into a fiery pit and chant horrible, unthinkable, vile songs while virgins dance around the flaming pit in goatskin leggings. So, once again the world is safe for R/C flying. The gods have been satisfied (for awhile I suppose).
