Default Will hobbieco replace bad ARF

I flew my hobbieco supperstar 40 today for the second time in as many days. A club traner via buddie box was helping me learn to fly. I took over at an altitued of about 125' at half throttle,I flew it about 100 yards and the wings folded.The traner took over cut throttle and tryed to fly it down,to no avial.Ofcourse its totaled.The wing comes as a two piece to be epoxed together by the builder.Upon examination of the joint my epoxy work held,but it is very evident that the wing was not glued corectly at the factory.The sandwich of the adjacent rib had little glue applied,and this is where the wing seperated.Has anyone had any experiance with Hobbieco on something of this nature.If so what do you think? Will Hobbieco replace the plane,or am I screwed.Any info will be appreciated.Thanks
