RE: Icepoint Wing Failure
Yup no reason to get defensive, I didn't see anything that could be interpreted as Ultra-RC bashing. All I see is a failure of an airframe, and a heads up on a possible weakness. We put thousands of dollars into these things along with countless hours of work, I don't think it's out of line to post a caution/warning/whatever. 50 flights is NOT a lot of flights on a pattern plane. On a sport plane maybe, but we use these for competetive purposes so that means hundreds and many times thousands of flights in a short period of time. I put 50 flights on a plane in a week when weather permits.
In my opinion, and only in my opinion, the center section is a weak point and should be addressed. And I really don't think stating such is out of line.
Bottom line, I'm glad to hear he was taken care of. I never suspected anything else.
But I hope the center section is addessed in the future, just my own opinion.
