I've got one of these and so far (knock on wood) I haven't had any problems. There's a pretty good Lancair thread here on RCU somewhere and one of the first things recommended is to get the wings halves epoxied together and then take off about 1.5" on either side of the root and glass the whole center section of the wing with 3" fiberglass, top and bottom. From the sounds of the type of flying that was being done it was more scale than acrobatic, and that's one thing with this plane you've just to keep in mind, it's not for hard aerobatics. The only thing that concerns me about the pictures posted though is the fact that it looks like it busted right on the outside of what would be the edge of my fiberglass job [X(]. The Lancair thread is either in the ARF of Scale forum. Sorry for the loss of such a beautiful plane.
