You're among the lucky....
I was not so lucky. My wing "appeared" to be OK during assembly and close inspection before hand but when it was put to flight, it was a completely different story.
My wing broke/ripped clean in half at the fuse side 2.5 min. into only it's second flight (just over 10 min. total flight time on the plane) on a mild half throttle banked turn. Needless to say, it was a total loss including my new Saito four stroke, on board glow driver, receiver, spinner, servos...etc...etc... It also came down into the location of several spectators were standing but very thankfully managed to clear out before it hit.
I contacted Great Planes and they told me to ship it back to them for inspection. Well (this is where my faith in Great Planes totally vanished), after a couple weeks I received a new kit with an inspection note inside stating "there was nothing wrong with the kit and if I had the same problem again, I would possibly be charged for the replacement kit"!
In my eyes, there is only one of two things that could have happened, either the wing/kit was faulty or I assembled it wrong (I've assembled over two dozen ARF's and several scratch/kit planes before this one. I'm not stating that I could not have made a mistake but, the location of the failure was not in an area where my assembly was involved). Under no circumstances with a mild banked turn and an engine well within the recommended range at half throttle should any plane experience a catastrophic failure that I encountered on that day.
I'm sure others feel different but, from that day forth, my hard earned has been spent elsewhere and will from now on. My faith in Great Planes products has been lost.
FWIW,
