I was flying my hellcat a few days ago, first 45 seconds went fine then the plane started lurching to the right. I thought it was a trim problem and set the trim to the left but the lurches got worse. I tried to bring her down for a landing but right before touch down it did it again and i had to pull up and circle. Then mid 360 the left wing fell off and the plane plummeted spiraling to the ground. Despite the lurching problem  i was able to keep it in the air for 15 minutes trying to land. The part that doesn't make since is the fact that i used a good amount of epoxy and sealing tape. The plane is destroyed cause it was 75 feet up and at full throttle when it hit the ground. I just don't understand why though.   :headscratch: can you give me any thoughts and maybe why it happened?

almost sounds like a couple different problems.

the lurching may have been radio hits.

 the wing fallng off? well..........depending on how you put them together, the epoxy may not have been strong enough? i use 30 minute epoxy on any wing joints, and i also tend to lay a fiberglass strip over the joint, as i tend to fly my stuff hard.

well the wing has been torn from its socket many times, once i ran between to narrow tree's and both wings with 20 min epoxy tore out from the sockets. Another time i hit a power line and tore off the left wing and the last time before this crash it did a cart wheel on my roof since some of the stupid kids in my neighborhood decided to shoot it with high power bb's. I guess it couldn't handle much more strain.
Would seem my only decent plane

Sounds to me like you crash and burn more than you are in the air.

it's rather simple, pilot error.
