I know there are a lot of happy hangar 9 US owners out there. Unfortunately, most of the happy ones have done many modifications to overcome the shortcomings of Hangar 9’s design or assembly team. I know this hobby is a lot about building and fixing, but I am a busy guy and I got into the hobby because of the great ARFs available. Each time a vendor tailors its product towards companion gear they should say ARF(if you have a JR radio and don’t mind re-purchasing $40-$50 worth of gear because we cheaped out on it), else you are going to have to spend an countless extra couple hours enlarging servo holes and fitting aftermarket necessities. I know people are happy with US but how many people are happy with US without doing ANY modifications? Like Tailgear $10, main gear + wheels $10, fuel tank $10, engine mount $10, and wing dowels $5?? I know this sounds petty, but if Hangar 9 charged $5 more for the kit (my guess on what it would cost THEM to do it right) we wouldn’t have to spend $45 on making it right by purchasing cost inflated aftermarket gear. I’m sorry for the rant but I think Hangar 9 needs to get their act together, as a consumer I am annoyed. Why aren’t more people annoyed when they get poor quality product? I’m not saying the whole thing is bad, but how would you like it if the fuel tank on your new car leaked after 500 miles and GM just told you to buy an aftermarket one because theirs sucks? Hangar 9 stand behind your product!
