OK... these have been out for a while now. Wondering what kind of luck people are having.

I put my 47th flight on mine today. The right aileron carbon rod came out about 2 1/2"... it loosed the inboard hinge. The inboard aileron servo rails are completely loose now... must have fluttered with the loose hinge. Hope the servo is OK.

Also, I noticed a wrinkle along the dove-tail in the sheeting on the wing (who dove-tail's balsa sheeting anyway?) If I apply a little pressure to that side of the wing it makes the wrinkle shrink. If I apply pressure to the other side it gets smaller. I'm worried that there is a weak spot in the wing. It seems that right outboard of the dove-tail the wing is cored out... no foam. A little worried.

Anyone else?
