Default RE: Wild hare extra horiz stab problem

I had an Edge from the first patch of planes and unless something has radically changed since then, they are total and complete junk. The stab was badly out of level--tip to tip, it was 1.5" out of level. The V stab was also tilted badly--5 degrees in fact. Emailed Tom with a pic and he offered no help--he did notice that my precision ground combination square was somehow crooked. Yeah right! I took it to work on a 6' x 10' granite surface plate, mounted up drop indicators, and not a single thing was straight. With no support and not wanting to pawn off the heap on somebody else, I went to go fix these problems (famous last words: can't be that bad...) and found out there is hardly any glue in the plane at all--it's like they assembled it like a deck of cards and covered it before it tumbled apart. Went to mount my DA, and the cheap ply fire wall kept delamenating--like bolting a diamond to a terd!

After taking one step forward and two steps back, it now sits in a box, folded in half, waiting for me to get marshmellows so I can have a bonfire. Before I do that however, I'm going to do terrible things to it that would make Hannibal the Cannibal blush. Arf of the year??? To who, a blind person?


Do yourself a favor, don't be another sheep and jump on the bandwagon--politely ask for your money back, safely send it back, and move on to something else.
