I hope her feelings were not hurt either but even still they are getting a good buck for the airplane. I was willing to pay a little extra thinking I would get top notch quality. I really thought for $600 it just has to be good. This kit should be in the $399.00 Range. There is nothing special about this kit verses other manufacturers that sell for alot less than the landing gear which has proven to be Sub-Par before it is even used. I think it should be DPM models problem to get there manufacturer to replace the items that are not up to par. It is not too much to expect the wheel pant mounts to stay on at least thru the building sequence. It makes me wonder how the rest of the gear will perform at the field. I have no problem sending the item back for replacement but not to glue them back together. I will fix the gear myself. I also will fix the side that is not broken since it seems to be a weak spot.-J
