RE: Very BAD quality Great planes ARF
Well, here is my two cents:
Bought a GP Big Stick 40. Box said it was covered in "Genuine Monokote". It looked great after assembly but after taking it to the field, the covering on the main wing started to sag. When I got home, I used the heat gun to shrink the covering only to find that the covering softened and sagged even more. Upon closer inspection I noticed that the covering had a sticky back to it. It was NOT iron on covering. I flew the plane like that about 10 times. Then the covering started to seperate near the ailerons. I took of the original covering and bought True Red Mononkote as called for on Tower's website. The color was close but not an exact match to the sticky back "Genuine Monokote" on the plane. I recovered the wing anyway. Looks much better now and even flys better because I removed to stupid plastic winglets on the end of the wings.
Without going into it, my EZ Sport from Great Planes also had the same problem but I do not remember if it said "Genuine Monokote" or not.
Regards all,
