Steve, I agree
I had my eyes on this plane, but after reading these posts, I will not buy it.
Typically for every one post about a plane's bad tendancies, there are three posts from those who are either extremely tolerant of a poorly designed plane, or just trying to convince themselves they made a good purchase, that say they never had a problem.
I have the H9 CAP 232 73" now, which I bought second hand from a scale pilot. I figured he, if anyone, could tell me of any real problems with the plane. I have only three flights on it, but I love it.
It will snap on full low rate elevator deflection, but I am thinking the low rate published is a bit high, so I am cool with it.
I am so scared to buy a new plane these days, it isn't even funny. I have been bitten once too often by a poor design.
I have had my eyes on the GP Patty, but since it seems to never be going on the shelves, I have nothing to worry about.
I am thinking of buying a GP Extra 60 sized kit. I have seen very few negative posts on it, and I think my YS 91 will power it nicely. I just hate to buy it to find Tower has made it their next month's super special. Another kit I want is the Laser Arrow Delta, but I refuse to pay $74.00 when I know Tower had them for sale at under $40.00 earlier this year.
I am in the wrong business. I need to start an online hobby store and play the same games as Tower. then, I could fly whatever I wanted. If I crash it, I could sell it in the Scratch and Dent section.
Ok, I have drifted far enough off topic I guess.
