Default Creek Hobbies - to buy or not to buy

My experience with Creek Hobbies has been abysmal.

I bought my first Giles G202 from them only to have it fail in the air.

After two weeks of constant phone calls, I finally got a replacement for $50, plus shipping (what can you do? They had me by the throat).

I finally built the replacement and had a similar failure.

The planes were built exactly to the plans. I set the fly wires by measuring the deflection with a known force at the center. Each wire was set for the same tension.....fairly taught. I took great care.

In my opinion, the quality of design, building, and materials are subpar for quarter scale aircraft from Creek Hobbies.
