Nice family pic. I think I have the Bee, Chief, Bird, Strike and Roc. Every one of my Thunder series birds has suffered a broken fin with each flight. The Strike even suffered damage at the mid point of the body tube at touchdown.

I'd think that Thunderstorm would need a F for a remotely decent flight.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.

I agree 100%!
