Well, yes and no. I don't think they were necessarily design weak points, but since it's a profile plane, the fuse is going to be the weakest point, as it's flat and has no tube cross section for strength. The wings actually had no damage beyond having to reattach the hinges on one aileron. In fact, I have the fuselage already repaired and ready to go again for tomorrow, I just have to add the zip-tie control rod guides.
I also beefed up the motor mount with a structural fairing.
When my wife got home from her Zumba event, I was shooting the plane pics above, but she needed some help getting some stuff out of the car. That's when I noticed thunderstorms off in the distance, so I grabbed my camera again and shot for a little while...Here they are on Photobucket in a larger and less compressed format.
