Bummer. Considered contacting GP about that? I hear they have awesome customer service.
ORIGINAL: Mr Ammo

Heads UP!! I had a Great Planes, U Can Do, had! Probably 25 flights on it and it flew great.
Flying last weekend, pulling into a slow speed inversion the center wing section of the left wing panel literally exploded. Aircraft was destroyed. Gathering the pieces there was no left horizontal stabilizer and elevator, and the center section was gone. I t appeared to just explode turning the air into confetti. Studying the wing we found there was no glue attaching the ribs to the leading edge spar and the remaining spar web was just a light tack glue.
I think the plane is a great predictable flyer but there is something lacking in attention to detail in construction of this model.
I have a flying friend who purchased one after watching and flying mine and to the date it's still flying but has developed severe flutter. He is debating to pull the covering from the wing and inspect his joints.
