George. As a faithfull long time Skymaster customer I mean this in the best way: You are not doing Skymaster any favors with your replies everytime someone has a problem with a SM product.

I have been reading theese SM threads and have to say I am shocked to see some of theese quality issues. I do check and very often improve things on my SM planes during assembly. Not a problem with some loose fuse spars or engine rails that are easy fixes, but there are some places like inside the wings that are impossible to check without opening the whole wing. The pics of the wing Carsten showed is just horrible. Discount on new wings is just comic [&o]
Same with Woj's wing LE opening. Things like that can be catastrofic to your $10k investment and possibly someones health.

After seeing pics and threads like this, I am starting to wonder what the hidden structural parts look like on my 24 kg (wet) 1/6 F-16, my new large Hawk and the L-39.
QC is one thing, but it would take so little to things like this right at the factory in the first place. Not putting glue on wing ribs before joining to wing halves is next to unforgivable. A worker who does not understand that, should not be working in a jet factory.

Bottom line is that the issues we have seen on SM planes needs to be seriously addressed and dealth with right now so they will not happend again in the future. SM make some very nice scale planes with the best gear and finnish you can get, but that does not help if we keep seeing stuff like this.
