Default Losi wing too weak?

I've gone thru 2 wing's in 3 days.....
I think the wing is too britle, should be a bit mor flex in it så it will not crack near the mount holes...
Just my opinion.
Going to try out the j concept wing next time.

I really don't feel it's any weaker than any other wing... Maybe you should start landing a bit more often on your wheels?

i've rolled,cartwheeled, flipped and crashed my 22 on many occasions and everything has been fine.
I did get a bit of wing bend from the mega cartwheel i did but just needed to be bent back in place by hand and it was no problemo

Sandpaper/Scotch Brite will dull the wing but make it more flexible

i found that with my first wing i thought i cut the holes to big,so when i got my other wing back from being sprayed i did the holes so they were just big enought for the wing to be tight on,the first wing is fine still but the new wing is spliting

I have had two wings one clear and one painted.
The painted didnt last nowhere near aslong as the clear.

Ive always put rubber orings under wing holdown washers
as it gives them a little flex so they last longer imo
