Ken That's right even building a kit there are some weak spots, places like this forum or getting info from club members is a major help and lessons the chance of crashes, even the plans could be wrong, this hobby you take nothing for granted it's up to all new and seasons members to check as much as possible every thing you can. I had a Nexstar that crashed when I first got into this hobby, and after checking the remains since I seem to of lost control of the elevators, we (some club members) found a broken clevis pin,
and down it went I could not do anything, but they replaced it with an ARF, and would you know it it had a defective clevis too, the clevis shaft was too short and would not claps to the joiner, but this time I checked every thing took nothing for granted.
