He happened to have a few Duraplane parts laying around so I have since built 3 of them, crashed 2 and rebuilt 2. See a pattern here?

Unfortunately the balsa planes (wood) don’t exactly bounce back all that well.

Below are some pics and vids of the planes.

Durastik flying:

First 2 flights of the Phoenix Models Extra 330s with two deadstick landings (engine quit).
