Hi Guys,
I've had several VQ (Viet Nam) made models and I can say, the covering is heavy and cracks very easily. They use a cheap thin plastic that is brittle and the coloring of the covering will come off with most light cleaners and CA glue remover, and will sag with a change of temperature. If you can find replacement parts, they will be expensive and sad overall. VQ produces models of some nice types of aircraft, I'm just very displeased with how they are built and covered. I've owned four different models from them and now only one left. I've either given them away or stuck them away, removing all my gear from them. They are cheap...made cheap and do not last very long.
I've had a soft spot for the Tri Pacer for many years and flew one when I was younger. The only kit available is made up in Canada and a superb you build kit, but the company has been out of stock of this kit for many years. I would love a quality you build or ARF kit.
Soft Landings Always,
Bobby of Maui
