I had just built a new EDGE 540T from CMP airplanes with a DA50 and put 5 5min, flights on it. all was fine then i started to see the 3D abilitys.About 3mins into the 6th flight i started simple in and out snap rolls. The 7th snap is when the wing broke off about 2 1/2in, from the fuselage . We know what happen next . I found there was almost no glue on the ribs in the wing. But lesson learned .

That sucks. Hopefully all of your equipment is undamaged so you can just buy a new airframe. You can get a good used airframe built by a reputable company for about the same price as the CMP.
