Yes they are very well put together in my opinoin. They also have the nice foam turtle deck in the back of the fuse like most big planes have. Ive never herd of any issues of them breaking either. They have plenty of reinforcemnts and balsa and ply throughout the plane. So farIthink there the best 30cc plane out there.

How hard was the landing?  If you cant land without a plane bouncing ect.. then you shouldnt be flying it.</p>

I've found that most smaller light weight ARFs like these can be lacking in the landing gear structure. When rigging outa new plane I've become accustomed to beefing up the gear area inside with a few layers of fiberglass where I can get to it. Pretty cheap insurance andadds little weight.

Like any arf I always do alittle reglueing, and alittle re enforcment.
I put alittle glass and light ply around the landing gear formers and this has given this plane tremendous strength.
Now I'm a sport flyer and when I had my CG at the center of the wing tube, I'd bounce and bend the tar out of the landing gear, but I was always able to bend it back.
I've even put her in the top of a tree.
It took a boom truck to get her out, I was suprized to she how little damage was done.
I've since moved my CG to the front of the wing tube for more sport type flying.
This plane is a blast to fly.

lets be nice.landing an rc plane is something that unfortnuately seems hard for even vetran fliers.I always tell students pratice practice.I have found on my 3dhobby planes that I can beef up the landing gear platform with gorilla glue believe it or not..but lets be honest even carbon gears can only take so many hard landings.mine typically would break learning to land from alpha harrier postions or elevators that were too fast and hard.
