Here is my modification: New Batt box with integrated, springloaded landing gear, ailerons and flaps. It flies like a completely new plane, lands in the wind like a Harrier. It was fun to do, did need to do some designing and machining though. A great Hobby, It's my first plane, has very many stories to tell and I love it.     greetings to all sailafterschool |

Well, not quite but more or less. I guess if you asked my SC it would say "more than one". I couldn't list all of the places I have crashed but I've crashed in vineyards and cherry trees in Italy, cornfields and dirt roads in Switzerland, as I said it's my first plane and my goal is to keep it as my fly-and-land-everywhere-plane. I forgot about the rain, the snow, the mud.
The mods started out with changing reciever to 35mHz because I couldn't wait for my defective one to get replaced, going to 9.6V, got a bum pack, decided then for LIPO, roasted the motor, went to brushless, crashed because of interference, changed to 2.4gHz etc.
I've broken off the nose a few times (corn stubble), broke it in half cartwheeling, broke off the rear end trying to do limbo under teathering poles at the polo field, lost it out of sight over a hill, found it had landed by itself a long way away.
It's still got the original wing, fuse and tail, the rubber bands are new though.
I love this plane and hope to keep it forever.
