Hey Loswave,
I did just that, emailed GP and told them the problem. They were fantastic, came right out and said that mine was not the only one. They think it may have been some bad batches. They're sending me another one as well. It's really not that big a deal, I've got 19 aircraft from GP. From my first PT trainer, to a new Ultimate 1.6 waiting to be built, and a couple of Patty Wags that I beat on daily. I really think that for mass production company, their customer service is way ahead of anyone else. They produce a good product for the money. So, if I have one bad kit, I really try to give them the benefit of the doubt, and realize that it's small potato's compared to all the great things I've gotten from them. Like I said, for $50 Canadian, you can't expect absolute precision.
