Default RE: UltraStick 40 wing snaping ?
ORIGINAL: Ales

Hi,

I had an Ultrastick 40 ARF from Hangar 9 with an OS 46 FX. I was doing rolls and loops with only 30 % throw (quad flaps design) and my wing snapped in half. Has this happened to anyone else? I will get pictures of the wing roots to show, but about 2/3 of the area was covered by glue but it still snapped. My hoobyshop isn't sure if he will be able to replace the plane for me.

Any suggestions or help is appreciated.

Ales,
Did you throttle down on the down lines of the loops? Did you use plenty of glue on the joint? That's a pretty strong wing, I've flown the crap out of mine and no wing prob's what-so-ever.
