Well, you have to love the quality falling short as you mentioned but notice the prices have reflected the lack of quality components or even what I consider the downslide of their customer service. I use to enjoy dealing with Horizon but the last couple times I had to call them on something, before I could even finish explaining I pretty much got told it was my fault and that warranty wouldn't cover it. After some choice words and telling the individual on the phone that the plane hadn't even been assembled let alone crashed due to something I did, did he then change his tone and apologize. As said, we'll just have to wait and see.
