I like the look of these new servo less retracts, powered by their own 2 cell lipo and built in overload cut off incase they get stuck

My hurricane is no more.I've had time to get my head together and firstly thank everyone for helping in finding the model and then putting the bits in a bin bag.
Having time to think what went wrong, I allowed the starboard wing to stall and resulted in a spin with no chance of recovery. At the time my thoughts were packing this stupid hobby in,but sod it it's still better than watching coronation Street B)

Oh Pete, I was very sorry to hear this had happened. Was glad that I got chance to witness it flying. Don't pack up..... there must be so many more opportunities for me to be in awe of your building skills.

She was a beauty.....

Yep, I think your analysis was right Pete, looking through the camera everything was going well until that last turn which was quite tight on the elevator. Might be photos of the stall and certainly plenty of good ones pre-stall on Jon's camera. Shame to see such a great model go in. Don't give up, it's rare to see a proper scale built up model at the field and I for one would love to see more of your skills.

So sorry to hear that model is written off . Only saw it on the ground but looked great. I'm sure you'll recover with a bit of time.
