Yes, 8S with a Schubeler fan. Yes it had tailerons but they were not active at the time. Mostly use those for slow flying in high alpha or landing, etc. Also upgraded to hitec servos. I've gone through a few fuses now to know. This was a mechanical failure of the elevator shafts mounting location from flying aggressive on elevator with 8S. Things like going vertical and hard pulling elevator to simulate a TV flip maneuver or pulling high Gs in a bank turn. Eventually the foam around the mounting shaft fatigues and you can see it wrinkle the foam and move more. On frames since this crash I have cut a diagonal line across the elevator rod on the bottom of the fuse and inserted a piece of flat carbon rod to reinforce the foam back there. So far I am not seeing the fatigue markers and haven't had a failure yet. But quite honestly the rest of the model is so beat up now it's almost time for yet another one. But either way, this elevator fatigue usually takes a lot of flights to become a problem even without reinforcement. But for people who want to do the TV type maneuvers and hard pull their bank turns or when coming over the top on vertical. Not a bad idea to reinforce it at some point, imo.

Never had any issue with any of my older magnetic canopies. But I always make sure the magnets are literally touching each other or something. Sometimes there can be a hair gap between and they just don't hold as well. When that happens I either make adjustments to move the magnets on the canopy or simply glue a piece of metal between so that the magnets make sold contact. My new ADXL has scrapped the magnets completely, in favor of a single hatch pin in the rear. So adding one of those to the rear is also something you could do. But if you can get those magnets to touch, it should hold fine.

@@IntegrityRC that’s a good idea - bit of metal

@randallpatrickc Yeah, might surprise you and still close tight even with metal in between. That's how you'll know if there really was a gap or not. Otherwise the metal would cause a gap between the canopy and fuse.

Ciao, se hai acquistato un nuovo modello non devi preoccuparti. Hanno risolto il problema rinforzando il collegamento all'asta dell'ascensore. Lo hanno fatto modellando un blocco di plastica nella parte superiore della fusoliera e inserendo una vite attraverso la piastra di montaggio dell'ascensore, fino al blocco di plastica sulla parte superiore. Tutto è sicuro adesso. Ma io In questo video puoi vedere alcune modifiche aggiuntive che ho apportato prima che apportassero la correzione. li ho comunque riutilizzati solo per maggiore sicurezza, sia fisica che psicologica. Spero che la mia traduzione non sia orribile. Divertiti!

@@IntegrityRC grazie

I don't know. I have the CG and everything setup so it's pretty neutral upright or inverted. So I might pull some elevator at times. But I think it generally just needs the rudder to keep the nose up.

9g freewing servos. I think they are both the reversed ones with white,red,black wires(instead orange, brown). That is how they work okay with the steering.

Thank you@@IntegrityRC

Yes, that is him. But Mosler passed last year. He has a new pup of the same kind. His name is Kozar.

Después de la primera reparación podrás empezar a divertirte más.

8S with a Schubeler fan

wow,how is the thrust?@@IntegrityRC

4S 2200mah. I don't think I'd even try 3S. But I am thinking about trying 5S.

Yes
