Hi steve
Sorry to hear it didn,t go as well as you expected. It definately looked the part and i thought it would Fly a Treat.
I think Paul has had enough with the mustang, the motor had plenty of power but there was definitely something major wrong with the stability as several attempts just no go.
It was good to see another Funjet up in the air with Trevors Son Maiden flight with a little help by his side he did well.
I will be down in the morning again for a couple of hours if you want to have some More Flight Time on the Island Hopper as i am more
than welcomed for you to .
Funjet was Easily fixed in 20min and ready to go again.

Quote:FYI - Clipped top power line and bounced off, lost left aileron as horn bend out of whack off aileron.
Managed to do a slow wide turn around to land, which was very difficult as i was trying to compensate with one elevator and one aileron but
just could,t clear the trees and landed on roof. Retrieved with minor damage gotta love the Funjet.
In thinking after-wards using the elevator and aileron stick was basically the same thing when you only have one side to work with.
And here i was trying to elevate and turn with one aileron, Go Fiqure. (But Hey Didn't know it at the Time )
Good Experience at the end of it all, and Escaped Disaster
P.s That Flight Recorded 193kph
