I know I should have made some noise about the last two kits I built. A "name" airplane that I waited a long time for and was continually dissapointed by. <BR>
Then it got harder. I built a Black Magic next and all the flaws were my own fault!<BR>

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