Default RE: WING FAILURE PROBLEMS

I had 1 wing come apart on a Cessna 182. My son was flyin it at the time and he wan't even doing anything radical. He just completed a slow loop and then we watched the wing come apart leaving the fuselage screaming for the ground whle the 2 wing halves were slowly looping to the gound. The plane was given to me. The entire plane was one color, white. My wide added some colors to make it easier to see. It was kind of bashed up and the control rods weren't even working properly. The fuselage was made of foam sides and the wings were made of foam. I don't know if the wing halves wern't glued together properly or if foam wings are just weaker. Any way it was a fast plane and fun while it lasted.
