Thanks for the input. Yes it was a Top Flite Nobler ARF. I probably will say something to the manufacturer hoping it might save someone else a plane. I don't expect replacement I should have checked it. The plane is nearly rebuilt now and hopefully will fly again next weekend. Ryan thanks for the tip about the clevises. We will replace the stock ones.
I "might" try flying it and I will remember to focus on the plane. Maybe I will put only a thimble full of fuel in it so it won't fly long.
Thanks again.
