Good Morning All,

I have been all over the GSP site and it appears that most of the kits/ARF's that they sell are made by China Models. I have a China Models ARF and I like it alot. No I didnt use the supplied CA hinges or the tail wheel. Those mods were strictly by CHOICE and I am sure the model would be just fine with supplied parts. Seems that we are talking alot about mods that are made by choice based on personal opinion or experiance. Lets say you buy a GSP ARF and you personally dont feel that it has enough glass on the firewall so you "fix" it... Should you be upset with GSP for selling you a flimsy(based on you own opinion)kit?. I dont think so.... In its stock trim, the model may be plenty strong and you may never have a problem with it...
The original post was about who is to blame about a defective ARF. Manufacture?Distributor?Retailer?... or End User?... throwing an automobile into the mix just doesnt make sense(TO ME!...not a slam or a flame..just an opinion)... it is NOT Almost ready to drive... It IS READY to drive... the modeler purchased an AMOST READY TO FLY kit not a READY TO FLY KIT... This entire thread is based on opinion and we all know what those are like! There are valid points on each post in this thread and it really just comes down to opinions and attitude towards what one buys. If I buy an ARF and I am not satisfied(My opinion) with the quality, I have to chioces... Send it back for a refund/exchange OR... FIX AND FLY!!!.... I choose fix and fly everytime!.... Thats is my choice and after I fly it, I can have my opinion to as to recomending the model to a friend or to SLAM the mfg for making what I feel is a bootleg product.
Someone who is familiar with making a poll on this forum should throw one up there.... ARF's Who is to blame of there kit has a problem with final assembly... MFG? DISTRIBUTOR? RETAILER? MODELER?....
