Calypso

[skillett]

Flew yesterday and from bout 200’ up both wings parted the fuselage. Killed engine and let her come down. See some skewer sticks to keep wings in fuselage. Broke nose off but that can be fixed. Oh well it’s fun while it lasts!

maybe this is the reason it was not a hit and went off the radar.

I’ve always considered the Calypso as a failed attempt at doing a hybrid between a Radian and a Radian Pro. Trying to get the best attributes of both, it ended up NOT doing very well at either.

well, thanks for responding. Good tight plane. Been flying it about 8 months and have really enjoyed. Gues I need to do more shopping whenever I buy another and read all reviews.

Guess I got a good one, have about 60 flights on mine with no problems. Jim

Does anybody know how much offset (in inches) the engine can be before we have an out of control situation. Mine after this crash is probably 2.5" off center with centerline of body.

Or, how can I get the alignment back prior to crash?

Thanks.
