I would voice my opinion to GP.
Go ahead and plan to replace it, as GP may only take the notice with a grain of salt, but at least let them know there's a problem
Well, this is what happened.. I called, probably about 3 weeks ago (which was during my 30 days from purchase), to let them know what the situation was. I told them I was having issues with the landing gear and how the bracing for it was terrible. They said if I wanted I could send the wing to them and they'll determine if its a warrenty issue or not and send another wing.. Well, two problems with this. If I sent them the wing and they decide its not a warrenty issue, I have to pay for shipping for no reason. Second, even if they send me the same wing, how is that fixing the problem? I think its more of a design problem. I would just have to rebrace the new wing too.
Well, I decided to keep my wing and brace the crap out of it with hardwood strips. I mean, seriously, guys at the field had never seen that much bracing just for gear. One guy even said "If the gear come out this time, its taking the whole wing with it". Well, the gear took a dump again right at the bracing.
The basic problem is, among other things, where they have the gear/bracing at is not a good place. There is not enough "beef" in the wing there and is just bound to keep ripping out..
