RE: Problems with Redwing RC ARF?
While I have the MX2, it is from Redwing RC. I have had mine for nearly 3 years. It is in great shape, and has even survived an attack from a neighbor kid with a golf club (a story for another day...).
No matter what manufacturer, no matter what plane, I ALWAYS examine EVERY glue joint I can see while assembling an ARF. Not that it helps you now, but this is a good tip to remember.
Sorry for your loss, and I hope that the plane is repairable.
