One of our club members complained that his didn't have the turtledeck stringers glued to the back canopy plate. Mine was built very well after a close inspection.
Too bad it had to happen to you in a freaky manner.

Adam, sorry to hear!!! Looks easy to fix up. I haven't gotten mine in the air yet due to weather here.
I have the throws set to 50% travel for the first time up. I figure with control surfaces that big, it doesn't need
much deflection to climb or turn.

I broke my Twist is the same place. I accidentally bumped the throttle while switching to high rates and it took off wide open into the safety fence striking a post with the wing. Smashed the leading edge and snapped the fuse in half just behind the canopy. It was an easy fix and actually I think it flies a little better now.
