I just picked up my new Razor 3D ARF, when I first looked it over at the hobby shop through the plastic bags I thought it looked great. I could not wait to get home to get it all out and begin to put this wonderful looking plane together.

As I began laying everything out and looking everything over a different picture began to develop.
First I noticed that the firewall is slanted to one side, further observation showed that the blind nuts for the engine mounts were not in the center of the firewall but off to one side. I began to look over the fuse even more and noticed a gap in the top portion of the firewall, cracked ply in one of the formers and two cracks in the bottom deck just behind the firewall.
To top it all off the fuse had a fair bit of hanger rash and several low spots where it looks like someone sanded way to much before covering. There are plenty of dings and dents all over the fuse.

I also did not see a QC label on the inside of the fuse like the wing and other parts have, but did find a bunch of scribble from a pen as if to mark it or such.

I will be calling lanier in the morning....Will update the thread.

Here are some pics.
