Default RE: Ca Model Eclipse

I can confidently say I have built more CA Models than anybody else in the USA and the Eclipse was the worst plane that I have every built. I built the one Mark Leesberg is flying, the wing fit took many, many hours to redrill ed antirotation pins, refit the wing tube in the fuse so the wings were level and then had to to the same for the stabs. The belly pan fit like it was from a different kit!

As far as how it flys, I will not contend that, but bang for your buck, this plane is $700.00 over priced. You cant possibly put the Eclipse in the same catagory as PL Products or ZN Line. The statement "You get what you pay for" is the truth.

I know for a fact that the Jesky family went through the same thing, we spoke many times about it. It is not sower grapes on Don Kanaks part, he had to suffer through many calls from me to get different parts to try to get this plane in the air. I sent serverl e-mails direct to CA Models without answer. I speek directly from my experience.
