| Well I have say I think you are right Mike, flying and great do not mix when talking about a mantis !! A good day flying a Mantis was going home and not having to rebuild it because something else broke.
But after flying one for awhile, I had replaced most of the plastic parts with ones made out of metal that lasted longer, then they came out with the collective kit for it and it did fly better. A few of us did make major changes to the green belt drive to keep it from slipping on the tail, and that did work for a while. And if my memory serves me right , I did fly that model in the Nat's one year.
