Well, we had another Impact tail failure this weekend at  our contest 
in St. Charles, Il.  Luckily the pull-pull cables kept it  attached and 
he was able to land it safely.  The plane had the  formers and a foam 
crutch installed to prevent this from breaking but it  failed at the rear 
bulkhead anyways.  The ironic thing was that he  got this plane at a 
discount from Composite Arf beacuse his Rev Pro had  the tail fall off 
completely on the 2nd  flight.

I have two of them the first one broke at the tail but I was able to repair  
it. The second one is a Paradise version which had the former installed but I  
didn't think much of the foam that was furnished with the kit so I  installed 
a Nomex pannel with lightning holes in it's place and one from  the stab tube 
rearward to the rudder post and have had no problems with it or  the repaired 
one.I had to build a foam and balsa rudder for the repaired one to  save tail 
weight.Both fly great now.
