Default Edge 540t

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.

Screw that, call Tom Fawcett at WildHare and get one of his Edge 540Ts. I've had one for years and they are AWESOME.
