The inner tubes are a little spongy,flexable, if ya pull on the outer tubes/spears. They are not as bad as one would think. I have entertained they idea of reinforcing them. It did fly great and it held up. SO FAR! I wanted to launch some this weekend,however ,I m not into treking thru 3 1/2 feet of snow to retrieve them.
