After a successful maiden and a number of flights a servo faulire resulted in a catastrophic crash completely smashing the fuselage.
In the re-build I will replace the stock servos with Emax ES08MD II Metal geared digital servos.

I have finally managed to order a Bixler 3.
I have been wanting a Bixler 3 for a long time but lack of stock and prohibitive shipping costs have thwarted me. The shipping cost from HobbyKing in China is still expensive £58 for a £100 model but it is less than it was a year ago.
Hopefully it will arrive around the end of June and I can get some pictures and flights.
