Composite-ARF Impact question

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Mark there are several threads that have quite a following on RCU about  
another pitfall of the IMPACT. The egg shell fuselage, unsupported, is prone to  
compression buckles and broken tails. I have written quite a bit on this  
subject, allerting all who will listen.
 
The fix is fairly simple at the factory but much more difficult in the  
finished part that you get in the kit. 
 
Yes, CARF did a reat job reducing the price of a nice looking airplane, but  
the quality has suffered, in my opinion

for an item, the harder one will defend it and overlook it's deficiencies.  
We had an abundance of American cottage industry kits manufacturers AND  
designers, we drove them out of business with the plane of the week  
mentality.
