Don’t expect CARF to help out with broken planes. With mine I knew that it was partially my fault because of the rough landing (Stall from about 3 feet trying to miss a barbed wire fence.). The chin cowl just touched the earth with pretty much no speed and the tail wrapped around the plane right where others are breaking in flight. No other damage to the plane except for the damaged chin cowl. I had asked them if they would meet me half way on the parts to get the plane back up and flying. My plane was one of the first to hit the states. There were no stiffeners, no formers and no directions on how to setup. There is a know issue with the plane, CARF knows they have an issue since they now add a tail former and a depron fuselage stiffener from the tail to the wing. I would need a fuse, chin cowl, and hardware pack to get the plane flying again. CARF first said no, when I pointed out there known problems they came back and said that they would pay for the hardware pack. I don’t believe they care about pattern or pattern flyers. They have more then enough business with there scale aerobats. If they lost all sales of the impact it wouldn’t hurt them in the least. I’m not going to buy replacement parts, there are just to many good planes out there with people that will back there product.
