RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear
I would have to agree with Itzdzworld on that one, if you read through the thread from the start the number of failures, including those built stock, it is too much to ignore. There is a real problem with the plane and some action needs to be taken to prevent injury or death. Yes it is a beautiful arf.. if you plan on putting it on display, and yes there are some planes that have not suffered failure.. yet.... but from the number of reports coming in on this particular issure.. ie the stab failures, I have no doubt a problem exists. Those that have had failures must report this to the consumer protection department. They will investiage and if indeed a problem exists they will take the necessary action.
This is a discussion forum, not a prayer meeting. If members do not report the bad with good we will not grow, and when a product has a dangerious inherant default it must be dealt with. I can feel the frustration many are experiencing from the lack of any action being taken by the manufacturer and frankly, I am surprised as sooner or later this will come to a head. I have flown for 20 years now and never.. I repeat never suffered from or seen a horizontal stab failure in flight at our field.
Well good luck to those that have lost their craft and I wish the best for you in your continued efforts.

Randy
