Default RE: GP Lancair Wing Snapping Question

I have been following these wing failure posts. In every case that I saw photos of a broken wing it was always where the wing meets the edge of the fuse and not the center. JRF is right in that it is not at the center where these break.

I glassed my center section anyway more out of habit and it couldn't hurt.

Wing flutter is very destructive and must be eliminated. I do believe that mounting the servos firmly and having tight controls is essential. But, I also believe that wings should be strong. Real strong. I hope GP strengthens the design and materials being used.

I don't plan on any snap maneuvers and my wing servos will be firmly anchored.
