Hi,

Since I started assembling the Showtime, I had to fix some warp found on ailerons and stabiliser, it took me a while to do that since I want the plane to fly well. Today I noticed that the rudder on the right side is thicker from the other. I just placed the hinges where marked, but I never thought that such an assymetry would exist. Have a look at the photo please.

I really like the design and I believe it flies well. However, if these were not fixed I think it wouldn't fly as intended giving the impression that something is wrong with the design.

I think Hangar 9 must improve its quality control even there's some price penalty. Personally I'm intended to pay more for something that is correct from many perspectives rather than spending my time to fix something cheaper.There are ARF companies in the market who inspect their ARFs going personally to the Chinese factories and in the case they find faulty products the return them back or they interrupt their co-operation. I believe H9 should do the same and have a long term vision rather than looking the short term effects of low cost production.

Anyway how should I fix this assymetry now? Any recommendations please?


Regards,

Nick
