Hi Scotty,

Yes that thing flew away probably 2 years ago.

That wing failure thing was not as easily explained. I was not flying very fast, maybe 175 and pulled up hard at the center and it popped the seam down the leading edge of the wing and peeled off a big section of the top of the wing.

On the next one I glassed the entire leading edge of the wing from the inside and never had a problem (of course until it flew in the LA river at about warp factor 5)
