You must have had the cream of the crop or something. I think this is the 2nd post stating that problem with the tiger 2. I myself built the plane, and everything came out to be textbook.
Call goldburg up like sportair said and see what they can do. They have very good customer service, they answered all my questions via e-mail in a couple of hours. I bet they could replace the fuse. If you dont want to wait, drill the tube out and place it on the other side of the firewall where it is supposed to go. I have a feeling that you recieved the friday night models, where nobody cares what goes on.
If you can get the plane up, as i hope so. you will love it. This plane is a very awsome flyer. Sometimes I rather fly that plane than my cap somedays.
