I agree, but a GOOD stick from Great Planes won't self distruct and write off your engine in the process. I won't even use the battery after a crash like that. I fly my GP sticks (40 & 60 size) in 35 knots of wind. I pull all kinds of G's and no problem. I even put one in the ocean and only lost the flight pack. I could forgive the other poor workmanship if the spars were spruce or something. But balsa? No thank you.
