I've appreciated all of your input on this kit which has pretty much inspired me not to wait for "flight proofing" & to go ahead & order.
One can't ignore the severe structural problems that arose w/ the 1/3 Pitts ARF during initial flights for some early unfortunate customers but I don't perceive this plane as undergoing those type of G forces so with this self biased rational counteracting my engineering background----- that tells me --wait !---- , I'm going to take advantage of Towers $25 off thing & do it.
GP wouldn't be where they are today w/o good products, customer support, & the willingness to help should an inherent deficiency show up during the customer flight proofing era of thier designs.
