It sounds like you guys are having great success with this plane.

I have not and I am not sure that it is my fault. On first flight I may have had a little flutter in the ailerons, but I only heard the pop as the wing broke in the center. All the control linkages were tight, using 4-40 ball links, but I didn’t have mechanical advantage. I was flying reasonably slowly, not F3A speed at all. I got the plane down, as the wing was still held together at by the covering.[:@] It was a rough landing though, and it took out the bottom of the fuse where the landing gear ripped it out.[:@]

Anyone else had any similar problems? CG said I should cut the tail section off and send it back to them, but they do not cover flutter, if that was the cause.
