The one really, really bad rekitting I've performed, maiden flight of my 2nd 
SS, resulted in a full throttle, full down elevator meeting with a few 
hundred blades of grass from about 50 feet. All I could save was the wing 
and tail from about halfway between the stab and TE back. Wound up splicing 
the v-tail onto the first SS and stretched it about 4" in the process. Flies 
MUCH better now.

He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in.
