Default DP Extra 330 ARC / BME 50 Progress

I put one together from an ARC, with a ZDZ 40. It still weighed almost 16 pounds with the pull-pull setup on the elevators. It only flew for about 25 seconds before the ailerons fluttered and went in upside down. The push rods he gives are not strong enough. They bent and made both my ailerons push down. It was a slightly controlled crash, so the damage was only the top of the fuse and tail. I need a new canopy and cowl. I wonder what they will tell me when I call and tell them their hardware is no good? From what I have read, they don't seem to stand behind thier products.
