Hi guys, the more I read about these two piece anti drag wire blocks moving/cracking/coming loose the more uneasy I feel about rippin up the sky in an Eagle. I'm not looking to just do loops and rolls...I like the more aggressive stuff...tumbles, snap rolls, spins, knife edge flight, tail slides, torque rolls, outside maneuvers. Whats the general consensus on this? Don't do these maneuvers unless the ribs have been filled with epoxy or one piece blocks installed? Between the prop hub cracking issues and internal wing structure failures I'm having second thoughts about the Eagle. Are my concerns valid or can you have peace of mind while doing the types of maneuvers I mentioned above?
