They ALL crack if you dork 'em. If you plan on dorking the landings a lot,
better buy an EPP HL first. There are some good ones. HLG are built to fly,
not crash. Anyone who flys hand launch regularly, goes through many,many,
wings/fuses/planes. Period. I have seen the BEST of them shredded in
seconds. Watch a javlin thrower style, spike one into the ground by
forgetting the launch pre-set. Watch a discus style thrower rip the wing
off:-) Very little pieces. I have about 10 HLG planes to start the season
with, probably not enough. Bill Grenoble
