I went for my first maiden flight w the Cessna Skylane, cranked that 4 stroke, 10% fuel. There I was for 7 minutes enjoying 1/5th scale flying for the first time.
Thinking it is a heavy airplane it was going to land and stay on the ground, but the events were totally different. Resulted the landing gear is very springy and the airplane hopped and on the second touchdown the wing snapped.
I think it was a failure in construction, whoever built it did not put any rods, aluminum nor carbon, or strong wood (not balsa).
Is this repairable?
