I did rip out a wing strut after doing some particularly violent maneuvers. The struts hold down is particulary weak on the Nitro Planes model of the Ultimate.
I'm going to put a small piece of angled balsa along the bottom of each hold down, epoxied in place to prevent this from happening again...
The skin comming off my top wing saved my plane.
I was triming off the old skin and noticed some movement in the wings. Gave a slight pull and the left strut pulled out of the wing. Checked the right side and it was bad too. Epoxied them back in place.
Note to self; DO BETTER JOB ON PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS
Good thing I dont fly full size aircraft
