Sorry Richy, but looking the pic it was clearly your fault. The control horn setting is way too short - no mechanical advantage. It induced a very strong flutter and within a second it was broken. Many people use on small planes way too expensive servos, carbon rods, but forget about mechanical advantage. With the right servo and control setup this plane can fly with the cheapest standard servos. Even the strongest servos can be rendered useless by a poor mechanical setup. Horizon has some words on mechanical advantage.
