I had the same thing happen to my Version 1 Predator (There have been a few revisions to the kit since then). I put it into a powered dive (big Mistake!) and it did it's best impression of a seagull trying to take off and then snap! It broke in two and fluttered down nice and soft! I was so enthralled with the oscillations of the wing that I never backed off the throttle. My wing snapped in exactly the same spot as you described. I shrugged my shoulders picked up the pieces, went on-line that night and ordered another kit, I Love a challenge so I was not about to give up on the kit! I built the second one in 1/2 the time it took me to build the first one and now I absolutely love this plane!!! I actually use it more as a sport plane than a combat plane (this is probably because I am still not very good at thewhole "Combat" thing yet) I love just showing up at the filed taking the plane out of the car, starting her up and flying long before most people have their plane assembled! you might want to give the plane another chance before giving up on it!
