Default Seagull Models Edge 540

Well, still no word from Horizon Hobbies...and the other guy in our club just had a wing problem. He lost his throttle, so he flew around a little bit more aggressively, trying to get the motor to die...when it finally stopped, he found it wouldn't glide (and it wasn't his first dead-stick with the plane), and hit the runway a little hard. When he walked out to the plane, he found his wing broken almost identically to mine...except it was the left side instead of the right. It broke right where the glue-in spar ended.

Maybe it was the aggressive flying, but I would expect it to hold up a little better than this...
