Default Skydancer's structual failurehandled by Planes Plus

I am not totally sure, but the Roecell that is used in the construction of the plane does not have an issue with fuel. I know for a fact that it will handle CA just fine. I have a 35% FiberClassics Extra 330L, and I couldnt be happier with it. It has even been through a crash, and still is super light and flies great (engine flamed in a torkroll). The structure of the plane is built to withstand only forces from the air. I know that your stab broke in flight, and this may be a design flaw. Also, I think that the fact that the stab is not airfoiled, does not help it structurally.

Darren, I think that your last comment was totally uncalled for. FiberClassics puts a lot of effort into the planes that they produce. The Skydancer has had its problems, but they can be fixed.
