Now that Skiman pointed it out, I also have a hard time finding the actual plywood wing joiner in any of the photos. Did you find that piece amongst the wreckage, if you did it looks like it probably had no epoxy connecting it to the main spars from what I can see of the photos.
Otherwise maybe the guy that built it found it at the bottom of the box AFTER gluing the wings together.....thus the $100 deal you got!

No, like jrf said but just outside of the stbd. wing seat. The wing suffered trauma
during a near runway tip-stall during a fairly windy day. Should have went around.
she got picked up by a sudden gust, tried to maintain control and bring it down then...WHACK!
She tip stalled suddenly and when that wing hit it was obviously worse than it looked.
I felt I certainly got my 100.00$ worth. This plane taught me a lot about differences in flight characteristics
of scale and non-scale aircraft and I still have a recently crashed, but perfectly operational .61FX.
(that cowl saved the motor for sure) Not to mention all the Hitec gear on her (all but two servos survived)
