Spontaneously Dissassembling Wing issue


Recommended Posts

Yes... quite... I'm putting my planes through insane rigours. Nothing happens. I practice re-entry. Every thing's fine. I attempt aerobatics with a space plane... no sweat. I go to the moon and land there, no sweat. I aerobrake from 3.2 km/s to much less... easy peasy. I re-enter the atmosphere, as easy as eating a cookie. I pull a hard g-manoeuvre because I came in slightly off-course? Pffft, you must be joking right?

BUT OH NOES! I fly in a straight line, a few hundred meters to a couple of dozens of meters above the ground, at low speed... and one of my wings (on three different designs thusfar) just... breaks off.... I don't hit anything, I don't pull hard G's... I fly in a strait line, preparing for a gentle touchdown (as I like them)... and variably between 800 meters in altitude and this last case at less than 50 meters above the runway, my wing spontaneously disassembles.

In this design I even figured I'd bolt my wings down a bit more with struts... nope. It still goes. One moment I'm flying there all nice and serene, preparing for an uneventful landing... and the next I'm down a wing. This is annoying, because, you know... I kind of need those things...

In this last one, it happened only meters above the ground, and I had a bit of the wing left, so I managed to put her down safely and on the runway anyway (by compensating like crazy). Well... safely? It looks like I crashed... And the report says I crashed into the launchpad... but it happened when I was at least 30 meters above the runway... This is a real head scratcher... is the Kraken teasing me or something? Below some pictures. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but putting wings on a plane is not exactly supposed to be hard... XD And it kinda worked before...

Anyone an idea what's going on here?

(playing stock btw)
