eBay 'Challenger' wing folds, and...

[DrZiplok]

... this is what you get.

Flying knife-edge, rolled to canopy, I tried to pull around (when I should just have rolled back). Obviously I pulled too hard; there was a loud snapping noise and it darted straight in. You can see the wing "spar" protruding from the stump; a longer spar and it might have survived.

Now I need to work out what to replace it with; it was a sweet flier. See my mini-review in the thread here:
