SNUG BOOSTER TUBE (or "pop-pod") - Yes, I also have had this problem with a recent Skydart. Sand, sand, sand is what I did. The tube should come out with a "light or medium" tug. The tube should not fall out.
There is a tab on the Tube that holds the Elevator DOWN in flight (actually, level with wing). When the tube/pop-pod ejects, it "frees" the Elevator, and the elastic (or rubber band) pulls the Elevator up.
This is super helpful, thanks. I have the tab installed on the booster tube. I'll keep sanding until it's not too snug.
So basically I just need some elastic cord to snap the elevator up after ejection? What does that little vinyl pin do? It doesn't seem to be connected to anything?
