RE: Icepoint Wing Failure
I have no problem with this plane being built in China or anywhere else for that matter. What I do have a problem with, is questionable quality. I am personally happy the manufacturer's are using commercially available covering materials.
But 10 pounds of crap in a new 5 pound rapper is still 10 pounds of crap. I find the use of glue to almost non-existant, even on the newer ARF's I have seen. You can design the best structure in the world, with little to nothing holding it together, you will have failures sooner or later.
Can the problems with ARF's be fixed? Sure, but sometimes your better off building it yourself, and you will be one of the few these days that don't have a plane that looks just like everyone else's. LOL
