I'm the new owner of this spit, its been beautifully put together by the previous owner, it too suffered a smashed rad on that landing; they are pretty flimsy. I was able to get hold of a new set from Mick Reeves Models (see website). They're actually for a Mk9 of the same scale (the ones supplied with the YT are actually too small so it makes little difference) but are much more fit for purpose and about 3 times the material thickness.
Made me grimmace seeing that wheels up landing.. I have the YT Spit (first edition) and it took me ages to reconstruct a rad when one mounting collapsed and smashed it. All back ok now though.
Mine has the 120 Laser in it and flies 3/4 to full throttle most of the time, yours looks nice and stable on the ground and in the air, mine can be a pig to land without tailing up, all u/c mods done, c of g back as far as I dare but still only manage a good landing half the time.
David,
