Default RE: Wow... Broken plane, but no crashs

I run the stock aluminum braces, only thing different is that I used 1 inch Fiberglass tape 6 strips from LE to TE then I used 3 strips
Wing tip to Wing tip and used the same tape on the Leading and Trailing edges $2.76 Fiberglass straping tape does wonders have not had a problem. No Flex I can do a 4 foot Loop.

I did install 1/8 Balsa rudder braces soaked in a bit of Ultra thin CA. Just dab epoxy in the spots where they attach , then epoxy them
to the spots.

I was flying yesterday and it was all over the place, inspection showed one Tail brace broke free. Epoxied and headed back out
what a difference it makes with those braces.
