Default World Spitfire 70

Just finished and flew this new model from world. See my review of the kit on this site. It is, in true World fashion, a beautiful model. With an OS 70 Surpass it was very tail heavy and required alot of weight in the nose.
The servo mounts for the retracts gave way on the first landing and had to be be rebuilt. Be very careful to inspect your model. I found the glue joints weak and that the glue had never hardened! It was an easy fix, and the Spit sustained no damage, but it was a real downer after a spectacular first flight.
I have notified World and they are advising the manufacturer. Has anyone had a similar experience?
Check mine out!
Tally Ho!
