I have one of these planes that is 3 years old. I found the landing gear attachment weak. It hardly had any glue. I have been told by a dealer that the wings are built with wash in instead of wash out. That would explain the snapping problem. Mine snaps terribly if slowed down too much. Inverted it will solw to a crawl with no bad habits but it is hard to land inverted.

I love the plane. It is built well except for the gear mounting area. I would love to build a new wing but dont have a source for a kit.

This wash in problem may explain why I have the only CAP231 EX left in our club! You do need to land it fast to keep it from snapping.
