Default Avistar Wings

I have the Avistar AWARF, 59.5" wing span, 10oz tank, no steel rod for wing assembly, no Monocote covering, airplane ARF. I provide this discripton becasue there are 3 versions of the Avistar on the market in order to help identify the specific version I have.

My question; has anyone had the wings fold up during a fight of this aircraft? In my kit building days I would put about 6" wide fiberglass reinforcement down the middle of the wing where the halves would join. I look at the Avistar assembly instructions and I have some concern about the strength of the mid-section of the two wing halves where they are joined.

Any experince here would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. The plane will have an OS 46 FX installed.

Thanks!
