BTW - everyone - I was checking mine out since it is "weather grounded" a couple weeks back.... for whatever reason, I turned the wing tube in the fuse, and noted the OTHER end sort of moving elliptically- The alarm bells went off.... SURE ENOUGH.... in my FIVE flights on this airplane.... I bent the wing tube. Not bad... but bent, nonetheless.

So I replaced it with a STRAIGHT CF tube from JAE (they advertise somewhere on RCU) $54 delivered, but it's lighter, and it dang sure will NOT bend.

BTW - I am NOT a 3D guy; but I tossed it around pretty hard in those five flights....
