We have had several failures over this way with the Chinese ARFs and even though they look fantastic from the outside, they can be a time bomb hidden away inside the skin! I am not mentioning any names here but these pics show the very poor construction method on a large F16, that crashed during a fast low pass. It hit the runway DIRECTLY in front of the flying pilots, completely out of control, after one stab parted from the tail. Needless to say, it was only luck that nobody was hurt. The anti rotation spar was actually a small rod inserted into a balsa box!! I feel that one layer of the skin should be cut away around all of the high stress areas and suitably beefed up. The skin than be re-attached, knowing that it was stronger than before.
