Test flew it again. Landed inverted. Broke off the rudder. Already repaired and ready to fly again.

Put 3 more flights on this thing today. Slightly low power. Possible a prop change will help.

I now have a Super Tigre G21 46 on this thing. Last time out I couldn't get a setting on it. Turned out to be a broken fuel line.

After replacing the fuel line, It runs good except leaning out in outside maneuvers. Tank position looks good. On checking, I capped the uniflo line for flight. Might be a mistake. I'll check next time out.

Another wreck. Broke the fuselage again. Afterward I found a broken strand on one of the leadouts. This thing has gotten too heavy from too many fuselage repairs. I need to make a new fuselage.

I have ordered a replacement fuselage from Brodak. I will probably replace the leadouts and bellcrank when I remove the existing fuselage. Then I will repair the bad covering and install a fiberglass pushrod.

I got another fuselage from Brodak. It was terrible. Brodak is sending a replacement. I hope it's better.

I got the replacement fuselage from Brodak. it isn't perfect, but far better than the first. Now I can proceed.
