Default RE: gp lancair wings snapping

Tianci...

Definitely a gorgeous airplane but just a tad under built in the wing area. I became hooked
after my first smooth crosswind landing. There's just no other airplane like a Lance and this model
really captures it's spirit.

This is a laminar flow wing just like it's full-scale bretheren and unfortunately with a fully sheeted wing,
there's no way to really check for damage by just peeling covering. The one thing I REALLY dislike
is the fact that the grain in the webbing of the box-spar run up and down...this is really
a terrible practice when building wings and I think GP should really correct this.

I would love to see this model fly electric but, I've got to utillize the nitro stuff laying around!
