Never heard of one breaking up in flight. I've got over 200 flights on mine and she's rock solid. These are great jets. I currently fly mine with an old Kingtech 170. Plenty of power. I'm getting ready to put a B-180 Gold in it. The gear is robust. I've worn out several sets of wheels over the years.

As far a flight goes she's stable and true, keep her flying at half throttle or more, once you make the runway just flare and land. Balance is critical. Don't get her too nose heavy or she might not flare on a windy day. Ask me how I know lol.

All in all a great jet.
