Masters Reverse Avalanche

[Joe Lachowski]

I did bend the tube. This plane only had about 130 flights on it and was 
built for me by a reputible builder. I've had several of his planes with 
more flying time and abuse on them and never experienced this problem 
before. To tell ya the truth Ed, maybe a two year vacation from this 
craziness is in order.<g>  Maybe by then this electric thing will be figured 
out too and then I can figure where to burn my money<g>. Won't be at all 
surprised to see it happen to someone else. Hmmm, I just may have 3 
Temptations for sale.<g>
