Default RE: Fliton quality?

unfortunately, after 210 flights, the wing folded up in mid-air. Not a pretty sight!. I think it has to do with the fact that the muffler (2-stroke) being quite big, pushed against the wing too tightly, which pushed the structure of the wing too much. Lesson: they are great flying airplanes, but you have to be carefull when not sticking to the original plan!
