Modellbau Sanity
Rude..........
Several things make me wonder about Modellbau.
Take the engine installation we've just been talking about. There's no way their instructions can be followed and get the engine installed.
Or the CT issue. They're off by so much! Not even close!
I've had three Magnums and the Instruction Manuel for the first one, #212, is exactly the same as the last unit, #626. No revisions. Most of us could think of several.
Now it appears their entire production will stop while they change manufacturers. That could last for several months before the pipeline begins to be filled again. No inventory 'till then. Get 'em while they're hot?! Fly very carefully meanwhile.
It's almost as if they designed an outstanding plane/engine combo, went to a small Chineese company and produced a few to test the market. The reaction overwhelmed them, but they weren't happy with the manufacturer. Now they're faced with the equilivent of changing a flat on a semi truck while it speeds down the interstate at 80MPH.
Still, they have done a great service by introducing us to inexpensive and outragous speed in a beautiful package. All at a price well below anything most of us would have believed.
