This is made by Starmax. I think you just got unlucky with a badly drilled one. Jason's suggestion is the way to go. You can fix it. RC groups have a few therads on this plane: http://www.rcgroups....

That looks cool. What do you call it. I'd love one to take off vertically over the trees in Back yard. Then hoot around in the sky. Then land back like a quad....:thumbup: I want one....:leet:

Fuel Tubing or fish tank air tubing. Simply cut stretch and fit. Very simple, easy, cheap and super effective. Love the stuff.

Some more progress on the Super Tucano. Should be ready soon maybe 26th August for Display/Maiden (if field condition and weather allows).
