Status: offline 		I built the kit, and I semi crashed it. A belly flop from a low hover, hard enough to brake one main gear, and tail gear, and rip on inner rear rib ear off the wing. It was all easily repaired, but one part that has now become a small problem, is the fuse where the wing tube goes through. The foam and balse around the card board tube in the fuse have become soft and does not offer the support needed for the tube. The wing is not in danger of coming off, but the lack of support in this are puts much moore stress on the ears front and rear on the #1 ribs. If the kit was built with an extra lite ply #1 rib glued to the sides of the fuse, to offer more strength in this are, I think the fuse would take this kind of (ab)use far better. I am going to try to glue a couple og lite ply donuts on the sides to offer more support.
