First off we would like to thank all of you for your support of Aeroworks and the entire line of QB models.
In recent weeks we have had a few of our 150cc airplanes experience wing tube failures. We have investigated the problem and have found that the carbon tubes on the later production runs were made slightly thinner than we specified. Not all tubes are like this but in the interest of safety we are asking that all of our customers flying any 150cc Aeroworks airplane purchased after 7/1/07 to not fly the airplane until we can send the wooden reinforcement inserts out to you. We are waiting on them to arrive from China and expect them in stock in about 2-3 weeks.
We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and understand your frustration but please do not fly the planes until we can get these inserts to all of you. We will be sending emails and calling every customer who has purchased a 150cc Yak or Extra in the last year to keep all of you up to date.
If you have any questions please call Aeroworks our number is 303-371-4222
Thank You,
Mark Dennis
