| Our R/C model flew successfully numerous times, however it was not built for show; the R/C model was a valid research tool. While in the process of dialing back the ammount of pitch feedback we were using to stabilize the aircraft, we suffered this crack up on landing. The model has since been repaired, but has never again flown. | |
