RE: Extra 2X2
Got mine. Seams are terrible. So bad that I will need to sand them down allot before I try to hide them with vinyl. The canopy and wheel pants seams are so bad I will have to repaint them. Even worse, there are what look like bubbles between the plane and the mold. At the very front of the plane. This will require some body work and paint. This is not shipping damage, just poor QA. This bird could not have been inspected. If they had more in stock, I would return this and order another, but they don’t and I don’t want to wait a month to see how it fly’s.
As someone else mentioned, getting 45 deg down from the elevators is going to take some kind of modification. With the hinge line on Top, we will actually need more like 50 deg down to compensate, in order for good 3d flying. I don’t see this happening but will try with the help of my hired professional builder.
Other then bad seams (worse then what they say to expect), flaws caused by molding issues and a serious problem with down elevator range, all else looks pretty good. This is an early batch. I am sure they will get better. If it flies as good as I hope, it will be worth it. But unless we can fix the elevators, it won’t. (at least not 3D).
