But it's not clean...it's got a really rough mangled edge? That's what I mean. I am not complaining about a break point being where the wing snaps, but the actually 'mess' at that point.

Currently everything looks like it was cut away with a laser and their is no 'rough' debris messy edge, even from the fabric. Everything is nice, neat and tidy.

I am trying to point out that the wing should break, but it would not be 'clean' it would have maybe control cables (if it's near the fuselage), fabric, twisted metal where the wing was yanked away.

Hope that explains the visual damage I want to see? The break is fine, just not how clean the edge is?

Cheers, MP (see attached pictures to my post above).
