ummm, oops, first, i tried to recover from a 150' full throttle death spiral a bit too low and bounced the minimag off the barbwire fence. and i mean bounced, it went out of sight behind a small hill, we heard the wire twang, then it popped back up, and landed about 6 feet from where it hit the fence. Darryl has the pics, they should show up soon.
then, cruising with the supercub, had some height, did 2 loops, pulled out straight down, full power, went to pull out at 30-40', it started to, then, crack, it kept going down, full power. it seems my wing braces weren't up to the task, but it packs into the car real nice now.

had to order new tail feathers, replace motor mount, and glue cracks in the wing, and swap out a servo. the other one was easier to fix, but never flew the same
