Ian, Your a modeller and a potential customer, so your opinion means allot ( Even though I know your too mean to buy the last life jacket on a sinking ship.. only jesting. Presta told me to say that)

I will be honest with you and say I really dont know what the testing regime is with Skymaster, but I bet my left nut, that its a darn sight more than some. Which manufacturer do you know that posts any video, of any of the test flights? No one from Skymaster came on here and said that this was all the testing thats done to the A-10 gear. Hell! For all I know this could be it. My main gripe is with the fact that one supplier goes to the effort of showing a test ( Which actually for me was impressive, as I know many of my models, inc my Mibo A-10 where I would not feel confident enough to drop it like that) and people jump on it and assume thats all the testing done, and suggest thats no way near enough. Relax a bit guys, its just my observation but RCU seems to have changed from a forum where we could share general jet information, to one where some people are just so keen to start a row... Could just be me that sees it this way?? If so.. sorry.
