RE: Hate it when the expiration date matches the maiden..
fwiw, it was my plane that started this thread. hangar 9 was awesome and went beyond what i think they were obligated to do by completely replacing it free of charge. that being said, i epoxied together the wing halves on the second plane and have just about flown the covering off it since. I even cartwheeled it a bit and snapped off the fuse near the tail since then. completely my fault that time. that got repaired and was in the air the next day. but even abusing it and pulling more g's than i am sure this plane was designed for, there have been zero wing joint problems to date.
