Sad new on my Revolver. I got overwhelmed switching to throttle cut/spoilerons coming in to land and plowed into the rough area before the runway. The fuselage is trashed but everything else...

With the batteries all the way back here, the plane balances right at the start of the wing tube. I suspect the aluminum brace I added to the landing gear along with the wood and epoxy I added to...
