JL should replace the kit on this - bare min. I can't believe they would use balsa there. I'm starting to wonder if my GJC-JL F-16 (which hasn't been maidened yet) is going to have the same issues. I know no one has reported this issues but if what is to say they they don't use the same type of construction?
