it has held up very good to my less then smooth landings, I did break off the tail section trying to fly it in 20+MPH winds and loosing control on take off and looping it into the street. but that could have been glued, but I just bought a new bare fuselage for $20.99 at my LHS and swapped out the radio gear. since then I've had no problems. even if I did break something the main wing is only $19.99, the tail wings are $11.99 and the nose cowl is $4.99, props are $2.99 so parts are really affordable if you crash bad before you get it down.
