The Person that crashed into my plane offered to replace it. I received my new one last week but have not started putting it to gether. The person that hit my Edge repaired it and sold it. On its first flight the wing folded just outside the fuselarge. When the plane was first hit the wing was still in the car so it sustained no damage.
I am now a little worried as he stated that it just happended after take off and wasnt doing anything stressfull. I have read the whole thread and have read that it has happened to one other person. Should I worry?
Would any of you recommend reinforcing the wing, or am I being too cautious.

Storecreature,
Yes the Edge was in straight level flight when an elevator fell off followed quickly by the wing snapping.
However, the plane has been resurected from the dead and they've braced up the wing and fuse where it looked a bit weak. They're test flying it for a while before I get it back. Will let you know how I get on.
