Reinforcing things isn't really the issue. Is it? checking things over to protect YOUR investment is. If you aren't willing to check over an arf... any arf.... build an equivalent and be in control of the whole process. C'mon- use a little common sense.... and don't be sympathetic to those who sue MacNDon's over coffee that's too hot- or BK for burning yourself on too hot pickles.... and the list goes on. Take some responsibility for making the purchase.

I have several GSP planes. I didn't build them to the point to where I got them. So, I check over their work. On one the plywood reinforcement broke loose when I-- read that again I flexed the fiberglass fuselage. It was in there. Glued. I popped it loose.... so, I took it upon myself to plain and simply glue it back in place. I didn't whine about substandard gluing or manufacturing processes. If you think that AMA's going to be flooded with liability lawsuits over things like this- maybe it's up to us to squelch them - tell other modellers or their lawyers to sit down.... shut up.... take responsibility their own for putting the plane into the air... and let the rest of us enjoy the heck out of our hobby.
