Default RE: Lancair Wing Failures

SPLIAS,
As I said in the reply, fly the plane like the full scale. Great Planes and manufacturers of any product will "tease" you with implied extras. Be nieve and believe what you see and push it to the limit and get what you deserve. If I paid 3 million for a race car that was advertised to go 290 mph and it broke at 280 mph, I would ask for my money back. When I pay $300 for an ARF and I take it to the limits and it breaks, I don't fret. I say oh well, it was a $300 ARF that I should have backed off a little OR beefed up to take the extra stress. Let's face it, an ARF is and ARF - a mass produce product that is manufactured as cheap as posible. In that regard, the Great Planes Lancair is a GREAT PLANE!! If you want super quality in a plane, build it yourself or have a master builder do it for you.

Sorry to have wasted the ink on this, but this thing about pushing the Lancair into an aerobatic plane just Pi!@#$ me off. I apologize if I have offended anyone with this response.
