Looks like one of my landings.

Damage like that is caused by the mass of the engines vs structural strength (plus rust factors)... On an RC plane, mass is too small to defeat structural strength... so the plane holds together. I'm glad commercial airliners aren't RC controlled!

That's gonna take a lotta hot glue to fix that one.
