ORIGINAL: rcpattern

To my knowledge there was no new wing installed. The wing that failed was repaired and was flown. I know this as the finish job was not paint, it was pink monokote installed where the pink paint was previously. From everything I heard it was not a failure of the wing, but the attachment method. I didn't see the incident, but did see the wing after the repairs, and unless someone told you where to look it was very hard to notice.

Actually Arch.. I was under the impression it was a new wing with the portion of the wing with the inspection sticker grafted onto it to make it legal under the letter of the rules.
