Default Pizzazz Wing Failure!!!!!

You Gotta see this. Goto http://groups.msn.com/modelairplanecrash - I've had about 50-60 flights on my Pizzazz without incident. After winning the fun fly contest at our field, I decide to do a victory waterfall. The plane tucks inverted, does 1/2 a flat spin, and the WING FOLDS ON THE LEFT SIDE WHERE THE WING MEETS THE FUSELAGE. There was no prior damage to the airplane. EVERYTHING foward of the leading edge of the wing is gone!!! I guess that's what happens when you fall 200' into concrete nose first. Since the ship and engine were 4 months old, I hope that Horizon will do me right on this. I'll let you know tomorrow how things turn out.

Scott.

P.s. I did re-glue the cross struts and they were still intact after the crash!! (Flexi-Zap).
