Hi 67,
Sounds like a poor design to me. 3/4 of an inch isn't much tape, 2" packingtape would be better. But I cant even believe the mfg signed off on taping the wings together. It's only going to be a few flights before oil starts working it's way under the tape and starts causing problems. The wing should be glued and the seam glassed. What really gets me though is how was your buddy to know it was a poor design? The MFG is at fault here and completly failed your friend.

This is the route we are trying to take here. He is contacting H9 to see if they will replace it. As this is what was sudjested by my clubs senior members. If they fail to back the product I doubt my friend will by another H9 plane even though most are pretty good. I think I have him talked into getting a Tower trainer ARF to put his parts into if H9 will not replace the loss.
