Yep struts have been a problem with this plane. Use some fishing line and tie them together at the fuse or hot glue if you dont plan to remove the wing all the time. Also the landing gear is a bit small and the axle part will bend on nearly every landing. My fix was to bend a heavier peice to match the lower section and marry it up wrap thread near the axle and at the top of the v then soak with thin ca redrill the wheel holes and its very strong now. bent peice will look like this _/\_ and again i just doubled it to the org. gear. I also hit the whole plane with a heat gun to tighten it all up but install the wing and struts first then tighten it up.

Otherwise i love this plane it flys great nees a lot of runway if you dont have someone throw it for you but once it get moving it goes pretty good and glides nice on landing. Plus has great scale look.
