.... I believe that in a lot of cases of break-up of an airframe (not just JL but others) that pilots show no sympathy to the structure in flight.

Jeff for God's sake mate how you can blame the pilot when they use balsa there on a turbine powered model.
At the end of the day this guy must get a full refund for what he paid for the model and free repair/replace of turbine, servos, receivers.
Agree 1000% George! Using balsa in such a critical area of the structure is totally unsatisfactory, regardless of how the jet is being flown.

Andy - Just my $.02/worth, but it might be time well spent to go in there and take a look, re-work if needed. You'd hate for your jet to start coming from together to apart in a hard turn, especially if turning inbound...picture KY Jets
