Default RE: VMAR Texan II - Any comments?

I have the Texan ready for first flight. It looks great, but:
(1) Junk all the plastic stuff that comes in bags. I think they use soap instead of plastic.
(2) The wheels are good for propping stuff up, but not for holding up airplanes.
(3) The covering is nice to look at, but a pain to maintain. To eliminate wrinkles, I had to use high heat. If you get too close to a seam, watch out! It will snap loose in an instant.
(4) The tail feathers are slabs of bass-wood like material that was warped. I had to work long and hard to get it straightened out. Hope it stays that way.
(5) If you plan to order one anyway, and order it from a place called Richmond RC, let me know how you fare. I tried several times to contact them after I received my Texan and have yet to get a response of any kind; That was over a year ago.
