Had SO many crashes with that plane, and came to love it - just glued it
back together every time. In the end it was probably more glue than balsa
wood. A number of times I had to carry the pieces home in a plastic shopping
bag. By the following Saturday it was glued back together and generally
caused jaws at the flying field to drop. No-one could believe anything with
that much glue in it and such bad aerodynamics could actually fly. The wings
(balsa sheet covering polystyrene) had snapped 4 times and been repaired by
application of a fibre-glass bandage, adding significant weight of course.
It actually flew quite well too, all the aerobatics no problem and I
particularly used to like slow low level inverted fly bys at 10 ft or less.

From RFC 1925: "(3) With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However,
this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are
going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead."
