Thanks, but I have been reading it all. The ShokJet thread has a lot of info in it regarding the wing failures and what to do. I have done the mods that I can so far. I have a friend who has a camera that I can use to check the ribs with, will do that soon. I cannot do anything about adding the plywood pieces to the spar to increase the strength (and I doubt it was ever done). And I don't like the fact the wings and fuselage was glued together with regular epoxy (instead of hysol). When I received the airframe it was loose all over. I have strengthen the fuselage all over, adding tri-stock everywhere I can, and hysol all the spots. Its tight now. The wing does cause me some concern but I'm not gonna let it stop me. I'll take it easy on the first dozen or so flights. Also know about not ever getting it into a flatspin
