Chicago Burbs.
After three flights and three landings with body tube damage, I decided it was time to remove the main tube and rebuild. After a complete rebuild I changed up the paint scheme and cu my own vinyl that mimic's the original.

Didn't you tell me that I needed to install a section of coupling all the way into the lower section? As it is supposedly too thin and usually crumples the lower section?

I think so yes. Mine is BT-50H with a coupler inside and an extended motor mount. Little heavy but really likes C5-3 and C6-3 motors now. I'd say it flies about as high on the C6-3 as it did on the B6-4 before the rebuild.
