They expect me to somehow bend it perfectly in 90* with a pair of pliers (which broke without even moving the rod)

I would guess I need a mandrel bender just for that... Ugh! what a mess!

Other than that I had no problem putting the kit together, it is my first plane, so I have no idea how it will fly. I have a friend whose into this so he can help me get started. I am mechanically inclined so the kit was built easy, the canopy was somewhat sloppy, but I did what I could. I love the kit and the job I did putting it together. Just waiting on my engine to come so I can BLAZE.
