Default Don't Let This Happen To You

I had a Thunder Tiger Sport 40 with an Enya .40 SS engine. The first flight, the cheap covering tore right off the top the the wing on the left hand side. I was lucky to land it ok. I patched that side with a piece of monokote trim paper. On the next flight, the other side tore off! The third flight I had radio interference and it nosed in at a height of about 30 feet. It looked like toothpicks. I swear there was no glue at all on the ribs. The wing just fell apart and turned to dust. After seeing that, I would never buy another thunder tiger.
