If you read the instructions beforehand, you might not have had the trouble. First of all, you're supposed to carefully open the control horns with an Xacto knife around the edges. GP would have probably done it, but this way, (IF YOU'RE CAREFUL) there won't be any slop.

Also, you're supposed to be careful with the hinges. I don't know why they're supposed to pop off, as the ones on my Turmoil didn't come off in a big crash. This is a true builders ARF. Don't confuse it with throwing some tape and glue in a box and shaking out an airplane.


Sincerely,
