One of my good flying buddies crashed his J-10 and had it in the back of his trailer in a trash bag, I peeked in the bag and said "I think I can fix that' he immediately started laughing (he may tell you why). Anyway I got the J-10 on the workbench and started checking to see if all the pieces were there...they were, every single crumb :)

I laughed because that was exactly what I told the guys who were with me when it crashed you would say. ;)I knew if anybody could make that thing fly again it would be you and you would welcome the challenge. I misjudged my altitude on a low high speed pass and it caught the grass just off the edge of the runway and disintegrated. It was spectacular. I will definitely be following your progress Dr. Frankenstein. :)

The Rare Bear is no more...lost the left elevator after I leveled out of about a seven turn roll at full speed...I must have tightened the screw on that side too much because it pulled right through. The 6S 4000 Admiral caught fire on impact...It was spectacular:Bomb:
