QUESTION: Has anyone had a wing structure FAIL on them in flight?
eg.. snap a wing off in a full throttle hard turn etc..
Reason I'm asking is I'm really putting a good strain on those wings with my flying... wondering if I should take it easy on the plane (not inclined too)
I'm flying it full bore, very agressively & it takes it all sofar.
Using a YS91AC on 20%... Its quite a speedster on this engine
Anything made with balsa can come apart if you push it hard enough. INteresting you ask because Ijust had a p-47 come apart for that very reason. It was a ARF that seems to have been put together well but the wing broke on a hard diving turn. It was built better than my phoenix so Ido see a real potential for this to happen. The good news is the think will not break the bank if it does happen....
