I had a semi-scale electric Eastbourne plane last year, which was TRE control - it was a shoulder wing configuration but used some dihedral, I suppose to compensate for not having the wing-warping ... it was a lot of fun and TRE controls were perfectly usable, but I really had to focus on using the rudder. There were a few mishaps at takeoff though, because of reaching for the right-stick! It died due to a mid-air wing collapse pulling up out of a turn (the spar had been compromised during one of the afforementioned mishaps) which was quite a spectacular sight!

That's pretty much what I thought...although I did read somewhere, that the rear spar was hinged at the fuse attach point. However, from all the pics I have seen, it looks like the rear spar fuse attachment point of the Fok.E is a socket, the same as the front and I don't see how there is possibly any "hinging" mechanism in the works.

Thanks for your comments and explanations!
