Help! possible Wing Failure???

Has any one had a problem with the 35% aeroworks Extra 260 as far as a wing failure? I have one on the Table and I am sort of you know building it servo by servo if you know what I mean ($$$$$$$) Any way PLEASE post some info on what ever you might know b/c I just can not afford to let it hit the ground b/c of a problem I did not cause my self. I have heard rumors with the 42% and want to make sure with mine?

I have heard of a few rumors about the 42% but as far as the 35% goes I have one and fly it HARD!! I mean if the wings haven't failed on mine with the abuse I put it through then I really don't think there's a problem with the 35% version.
I can tell you this, I wouldn't fly any other 35% I have flown this hard. and I check it over constantly for equipment and airframe failures and have found none, I would buy another one in a minute.

Yes, If your asking me that question, I had the very first red one that came out, or close too it, It's the one in my avatar.
I just took it and disassembled all I could to check it out and it all looks as good as when I bought it. One tough plane and a blast to fly.

Like what has been said earlier the 35% has no problems, mine has well over 350 flights and is still going strong despite our attempts to break it. Let us know when you fly her its a great flying plane!
