Larry...Mostly I get lucky and hit at some oblique angel and only have a modest repair
But back a year or so--- it seemed each time I thought I was ready for a good loop I was actually training for the PERFECT figure 9
Truth is when I came back to CL, I was focused on Combat and much too old for the speeds things were happening---- and the only reason I attempted the loop....hopefully to become a lazy 8, was------I need a break from the 3.4 sec laps
Expensive learning, as NOT knowing better (about how many kits were out there)---- I was dorking very expensive E-Bay auction kits like Double Voodoos, Combat Cats, Demons, etc... Some I had done a fairly good Polyspan or silk n dope finish
Wife would sit in awe as I sat down in the center giggling...she thinking I am getting a bit loopy....especially as she had helped me throughout the months long building finishing..
Along the way, I managed to really badly dork (kill) 2 of the Fox MK VI engines Marvin Denny had set up and sold me
To this day I still laugh and giggle when I dork a plane...but at stunt speeds the carnage is not as spectacular
From your note, I can easily see all the bit n pieces of the Pathfinder being returned to their original molecular structure ....good news is recovering the controls, tank, and engine is not too hard
I also found it usually easier to just build a new kit... I have resurrected a few crashed damaged planes but they never seem to fly the same...for me
Curios about the snag "at the Handel"... I have snagged grass n weeds or had wing LO to line fouling, but never an issue on the handle end of the lines
