Wow CAT, sorry to hear that. How long did you have it? I hate to hear things like that. As I said in my original post, I looked the one I have over pretty thoroughly and it appears to be well built but you never know about the areas you cant see. I know from experiences of others that I have known who owned some brands of Chinese and Vietnamese ARF's that they can be pretty chincy with the adhesives and like to use hot glue instead of epoxy or CA. So did you bother with trying to repair it?
