You got my vote for ''best rc joke ever''
....RCISFUN , IMHO this spot its manufactures responsibility. I don't open my receivers to check the welding spots or my engines to check the bearings. I have already paid to receive them ''ready to run''!
This was not meant as a joke as suggested, this is very serious, there is a situation that there is doubt with the construction of a component of a model.
I agree in a perfect world the manufacture should not be producing sub standard components and should take responsibility; however, we live in a far from perfect world!
What should the modeler do if they already own the model? Do you think the manufacturer will take it back... I don't think so!
Should the modeler gamble and just fly it knowing that there is an issue... guess what that make the modeler just as liable as the manufacturer!
It's call negligence.
So my suggestion is do your due diligence and inspect the suspect components, make repairs or ground the model until the problem is reasonably solved.
Of course anyone who has not purchased a kit yet from said manufacturer who is worried about the quality, it's very simple "Don't Buy It!"
