Youngflyer, there was not a problem with the plane, ANY wing will do that if it slides off the anti-rotation pins.

GIVE IT A SHOT!

(PS: I think you need to update your software to the latest version, or when the wing tip hits it will kill he motor... give it a few tries, its takes just the right angle of KE to knock off the wing and keep the plane going!)
Next maiden you need to try that with the plane Sleepy .. kee you on your toes

HAHA wouldn't that be sick..
Roll up to the field, start assembling your new 40% plane, leave one wing off, and take off into KE.. I bet every single chin in the place would have Grass stains!
