It wouldn't have stopped the elevator horn breaking but that plane would have been a hell of a lot easier to fly with roll and pitch gyros. Most ordinary flyers think gyros are "cheating" - then they go to model airshows and marvel at show pilots - who use gyros! Gyros don't fly the plane for you but they certainly smooth things out. Interesting video. Hope you rebuild.

Thanks for the comment. I think I will give this idea some thought. Any recomended brand? The rebild is almost done 🙂 B

How on earth did I fly for the past 48 years without a gyro?

All sorts of things looked wrong with that flight. C of G, control surfaces sticking, underpowered? I guess it was a maiden? I’d have landed that thing no sooner than it took off, I have a feeling if we could of seen you on the sticks you were fighting it the moment you opened the throttle.

Thanks for the comment Dean, it’s very encouraging. Once I managed to take off and land without ruining anything. Please take a look: kzitem.info/news/bejne/p61t3amlqGR_paQsi=neGcS1INzUhWWpgw B.

Funny story, friend pulled and old plane. His control horns and servo arm were breaking! Brittle as hell!

This one was built in 2015, but it has had a few "heavy" landings before :-)

That horn broke in the crash. You were too slow and stalled.
