Everything that Jack say's is true. Especially the part about people blaming crashes on everything but themselves. I just have to bite my lip when people crash at the field. The excuses are comical. Of course there are some exceptions but most of the time it's pilot\builder error.

Maybe I should retract what I said about the week spot in the fuse. The fact is, it has to have a week spot somewhere. If you beef up one area it's going to break somewhere else that may be less desirable. I knew a guy once who would build his whole plane using epoxy. When there was a crash or hard landing the joints never broke but the wood would shatter between the joints.

The bottom line is it's a great little plane with no big design flaws.
