Whoopsie.

We went to the dump to fly the Micro Telemaster yesterday. For some reason the prop kept falling off under full power. This is with the old Futaba FGK radio and one s-28 and one s-48 servo. Real old. The battery was still good and took a charge.  I made some changes to the prop by throwing the plastic one away and installing a Zinger 8 x 5 wood. It's held on with an O ring. Anyway I figured I would give it a try in the yard today. I flew it around one circuit of the garden and then tried to maneuver through the mimosa tree. That didn't go well at all. I removed all the pertinent stuff and threw the rest in the trash. The wing is usable.
