<DIV>Hi Chris,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

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>
