I don't think it's reasonable to judge a whole class of airplanes (composite) by the failures of a few. Remember the H9 Edge, with the folding wings a while ago? You don't hear of them folding anymore. There have also been stories about Aeroworks 33% Extra ARF's with folding wings and stabs. These are examples where there may have been manufacturing issues with stick and foam planes, not composite planes.

I don't think the composite technology is all that new. People have problems with stick and foam planes too. IMO, its how the manufacturer deals with the reported problems that's the real test. And from what I've seen (from personal experience) FC (now Composite ARF) has always gone beyond the call when servicing or replacing their products.
