Doesn't surprise me to read about wing failure of this plane. The DynaFlite Bird of Time ARF also has a very crappy weak joiner, not to mention that they also installed all the shear webs with the grain going horizontal instead of vertical. This crap wing structure has continued since the release of the BOT despite numerous complaints by modelers about the design and strength of the wing. GP even went to the trouble of replacing wings for the BOT and claimed that they had been strengthened. Lie. Same crap as it always has been. Very poor quality control in their crappy Chinese factory. No doubt the same place the Lancair came from.
