.......A Yellow Aircraft F18 twin wing failure.....
If this is the one i think your talking about.. It actually wasn't a wing failure. it was a forward wing attachment bulkhead that failed due to being built incorrectly. So ya can't claim that as the manufacturer's fault, especially since they do not (or atleast did not) market that airframe as a ''turbine ready'' airplane.
I think you are correct, and I should have stated clearer as well that it was a kit designed for ducted fan, unfortunately, on a forum it will be seen as a structural failure. For what it's worth, I don't really claim that any of the failures I've seen are manufactures fault, there are to many outside circumstances that we as readers on a forum will never know about.
My only real point was that there are thousands of successful flights happening out there, and that every manufacture can have something fail. Be it from structural failure, builder error, etc, but to not fly because you are concerned about what might happen makes the hobby pretty unfullfilling. The time needs to be taken to inspect as best as possible and then just enjoy the airplane knowing that they all have expiration dates sometime.
