Sorry to hear about your troubles guys. I put down a $1000 deposit for an A4 kit but canceled the order after hearing about the problems. So, my loss was only the deposit

Good Lord they have the gall to keep your deposit and they aren't even shipping a jet that can operate reliably due to their engineering deficiency? I think you should consider your options when it comes to giving up on 1000 bucks due to their failure to deliver and your "good faith" demonstrable loss of confidence in the product due to a failure to perform to the marketed intent. It's not like you walked away because you wanted to buy a set of rollerblades and knee pads instead, is it!!! (well you got the knee pads but I'd send that back to them with a letter from an attorney).

I have now taxi tested my direct servo modification and it works perfectly. So at this stage, I've owned this jet now for over two years and I want to see it fly. Time to cut my loss and at least have a flying jet instead of a static model. Once I taxi this jet away from me, I won't even be able to see the nose servo, and once it takes off & I retract the gear, no one else will be able to see it either. That's just going to have to be good enough. If at a later date someone else finds a suitable fix, then maybe I'll switch mine over..

David, good work on your temp solution. I'm sure a permanent solution will be much more "attainable" as you'll have the patience for something that looks the part once you get some stick time on the jet. From the many flights I've seen of this jet in person, I think your hard work will be worth it but no doubt shame on CARF for not supporting any of you who pay the bills and promote their product by your own successful projects.
