    Hi Chris,

    I complained because my first Abbra came at 0.75 degrees.  I wanted 0.5
degrees and I ordered the second one at 0.5 degrees.  The original Abbra was
design around the ZDZ 40.  Probably, the 0.75 degrees is better for that
power plant. The second one came exactly at 0.5 degrees so I can not
complain.  The only problem now is those are made in Europe and we have to
pay with Euros.

    Regards,

      Since it has been so quiet, I want to stir the pot and ask everyone
why
      it is that we as a group accept lots of poor quality kits and just
shrug
      it off? I spoke with 2 people this weekend who are building different
      planes and both are unhappy with the quality of the kits. Pieces are
      warped and twisted and tubes misaligned and we just say..."oh well,
I'll
      fix it". One guy said something to the effect that well, it was ONLY
      $1,000.00!!!! We are way too lenient on accepting cruddy quality and
      just fixing it. I know there are not a lot of vendors out there, but
we
      are happy to pay just $1,000 and get a twisted plane in return?? I was
      told one popular plane that many guys now have has 5 DEGREES of down
      thrust mistakenly molded into the fuse and everyone just says, oh
well,
      I'll fix it. Don't know about you, but $1,000 is a lot of dough to me,
      and to happily pay for a cruddy product in return is just wrong. I
      still remember that ! famous email from one mfg that basically said
that
      the person complaining about his wing was twisted should be HAPPY that
      it was twisted because famous pilot XX flew the plane too and he won
the
      NATS with it. The problem is that we don't as a group send the junk
back
      and demand that we get our money's worth. Nobody expects a perfect kit
      without any problems at all, but aren't we too lenient? Maybe we need
      to just buy kits like Mike's Black Magic and then we can only blame
      ourselves if it comes out crooked.
      Sorry, but I really feel that we are being taken advantage of due to
the
      limited supply of planes available and we are told to take it or leave
it.

      Ok, I feel better now.

      Chris
