Well... The saga continues
.
.
Just took the AirTractor up for flight #2, practicing landing approaches, etc (flies aweseme BTW!!)...

Came in for a very gentle touch and go (potentially landing if all looked well) and the right Kavan wheel spun off the axle

So... Climbed back to altitude and planned the impending destined destruction

Lined up a nice landing approach, killed the Moki (in hopes of saving the prop)

Luckily the landing was a greaser, but the gear sheared off the second it touched the grass

No other damage to the plane, but looks like I have to glue back in the Oak plate

Oh... And the pilot's head fell off, LOL!!

Root cause... Cracked plastic hub on Kavan Wheel

Next week I'll get it flying again!!
