Subject: Broken wing panel on Edge 540



Hi Samkim,



I got your e-mail address from Ali Mashinchy who said that I should contact you about my wing panel breaking in flight.



I have been testing the XPS radio from the states and was flying this in an Edge 540 with YS63S engine. I had a problem where I got un-commanded aileron movement which made the Edge 540 go into a axial roll which resulted in the wing panel snapping off. The left wing panel did not pull off the carbon tube as I had put carbon wing hooks on top of your plywood ones and after the crash the wing bands where still attached.



I have tried sending e-mail from your web site a week ago but got no reply so I asked my friend Ali for a contact e-mail at Fliton who would help.



I know we had a problem with the XPS we were testing but the wing should not have broken can you please comment on this?



This is the link to the XPS forum that I set up you can see some pics I am sorry I can not show you broken left wing as it went into a lake and can not be recovered

Look forward to hearing from you.

The above e-mail is with regards to my first Edge 540. This below is regards to my second edge 540.



Dear Sir



I have just received my second edge 540 from Hobbyhorse in Wisconsin (not mini one) 60 – 90 four stroke, the first one the wing panel snapped in flight I did write to you about this but never got a reply.

The left wing panel has had the band retaining hook left out ! Is there any quality control at the factory? I have a picture of this.
