Had a slight problem with my CAN DO and strarted reading to see if anyone else had the same thing. PPHHEEEWWWWW, to many posts to read em all as I'm no speed reader. Anyway I was flying on the level about half throttle and gave her hard left rudder. She "popped" and coupled hard to the belly. Wondering what that loud pop was and not thinking far ahead enough that it might be trouble, I gave her hard left rudder again. This time it coupled to the belly but without the "pop" sound and the wing pealed right off. The fuse dove hard and fast with that surpass 91 hanging on front and I couldn't get the nose up to hover for anything. Toothpicks and ribbons. Wing is okay, came down real slow and landed in tall grass. Pulled out the whole mount that the nylon screws go into. Shucks. Bought another one anyway and it's ready to go.
Anyone else see or here of the wing coming off on this one??
bovan, ive never had that happen either, now i have blown the main wing in half comming out of a tip spin, but the bolt mount was still intact, it must have been break time at the factory and someone forgot to put the glue in that spot[&:]
i do reinforce that spot though because i have had one cracked right down the middle between the two bolt holes but never gave it another thought
