I received my first parkflyer a Flyzone Ventura it had someing wrong with it,it would fly good for a little then it would crash it broke the wing a little so I taped the wing all over both sides of the wing and tail I sent the plane to Hobbico for repair an they sent me a new one before before I flew it I taped all wing areas with wide clear shipping tape I weighed the plane an it adds very little weight your wing will not break in two when it crash the second plane flew great, a warning to beginners don't fly when the air is on stable any wind makes these light planes hard to fly I'am use to flying in wind and I had a hard time flying this plane in on stable air I just thought I would give you a tip Have a great evening Chuck

Thanks for the tips Chuck! Strapping tape really does strengthen everything up nicely. And wind is your enemy I think even very good pilots would rather fly in calm conditions.
