Default GCM Models 44% Extra 330s

Hi everyone. I just purchased a GCM Models 44% Extra 330s http://gmc-rc.com/presentation.html. After searching RCU and some googling, the only information I could find was some posts by Ian on RCU and also U-Tube about his wing failure on the first flight. I have talked to Aircraft International who distributed this model and have been told that there are no issues with this plane and that that was a one time incident that they believe was due to wing flutter due to poor setup. I have also heard that there are others that have flown and are still flying this plane with success. I could use any information that you might have about this model. Mine has never flown and I will be maidening it in a couple of weeks. Any information, leads, contacts for anyone who has flown or is still flying this model would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Darek. Can you provide contact information for the people who manufactured this splane ? I'm using a 3W-212B4 and it is turning out very nose heavy. I'd like to know if I can install 2 8711s in the fuselage in the tail section of the plane and use a push-pull setup for the rudder. This would allow me to move some servo weight to the tail section. Also if they have any other ideas to balance the plane without using weight.

Thanks again for the respone.
