TX Mate, I got thousands of videos on YT over the years with all sorts, these micro lights I don't bother to load on as I fly them mainly late evenings during dead calms in twilight darker hours so the footage doesn't come so well.
I fly them daily, just over the fence, this eve flew 3 models, incl. this BI winger, and after bit of hard 3/D manouver I could hear a little snap, thinking it might be just CF ripped out at some joint but after landing it was clear.
The weakest link, Elevator "L"shape broke off, still fully under control but with next builds I will make that corner bit stronger.
This model at 230grams is little too heavy for that weak point during hard manuevers. Easy fix by foam glue and

Bit of a weak link, the corners of the "L" shape Elev. moving tabs,now reinforced with strong tape.
ading some tape over the break but will have to take it little easier in the future on the stix.
