Kunlun had a poorly built wing. We glued the wing and joiner as instructed but in flight the wing folded mid section. We epoxied the center section ribs and joiner per the instructions. Post mortem showed that the center section ribs and wing joiner were still in prefect condition. All the wing ribs pulled out with the joiner. The balsa in the wing was extremely soft. The main spar was made of the same soft mushy balsa not hard balsa or hard wood. The design is basically sound, but the materials used were absolutely inferior.
This is not the first cheap kit we have had fail. We have learned our lesson, you get what you pay for. We just wish the Kunlun(Buy KunLun Online Gold) was built reasonably well, but our kit was not. We hope they improve the quality because the Kunlun is a very nice flying design. That's the chance you take with cheap ARF's, you really don't know whats inside until it's to late. The plane was on it's fourth flight, no dives, no high stress at all. The wing failed in a very low angle bank at altitude. We have many planes but we will not be purchasing another Kunlun
