"The fuselage of the Stinger was found (the hard way) to be the weak spot of this kit. A hard landing can cause the entire fuse to break in half at either the leading edge or the trailing edge of the wing as there is nothing but balsa forward of the wing and aft of the wing. This problem is easily dealt with (in this case as a repair) by gluing 1/16" birch plywood strips that extend a couple of inches fore and aft of the wing on the fuse sides and floor. The weight added is negligible and will help the Stinger hold up better to less than gentle landings"
This is something i found online about the building of the stinger, does this sound like a good idea.???
