Default Test flew the U CAN DO today

*sigh*

This airplane has been so much trouble, today, I flew it with the YS120. The power was awesome. But, yet another stupid construction problem.

Had a great flight, lots of fun, engine quit on me (I don't think the plug is working well). So I deadstick it, well, right on final I got a little slow, but nothing horrid, the airplane bounced, first bounce, the front of the wing dropped out of the saddle, second, the gear came off.

Now, from what I'd read, I expected the gear to come off eventually, but the wing, well, what happened was, the former that holds the front wing dowells, literally sheared at the narrow part of the former and dropped straight down behind the gear block.

I'm thankful it happened on the ground, not in the air, but man, how many times do I need to rebuild things that fall off?????

I'm not really worried about the airframe, but I don't want to wreck a brand new YS120 and brand new JR Digital servo's.

Great planes, I am NOT impressed.

What has bothered me the most, is they have shown the WORST customer service I have EVER received.
