Gaston, Welcome to the Giants, and really cool project!
To put the wing situation in perspective, I think around 3- 5 people have had failures out of say 2500+ airplanes that have been sold. I think the percentage of failures could relate to pretty much any airframe.
I'm not saying to throw caution to the wind, but i think with a reasonable flight envelope (no high speed walls, or 100 mph dives into parachutes) you should be fine!
Please update us on the progress of your project it looks awesome! |

Hi
I really appreciate the feedback, I usually fly slow unless I'm flying one of my jets, I'll have to take it easy, especially when the engine has 37.5 lbs of thrust and the airplane only weighs 17 lbs, you could easily get in trouble but as I said with that type of aircraft, I usually fly slow, I prefer aerobatics over speed, I've had a BME Yak 50 cc for a few years and that's the way I fly it, nice and slow. One major difference is the throttle lag which I'm accustomed to, with jets anyways.
Thanks again.
Gaston B.
