Default RE: CMP Kits – Problems and Solutions

Plane: GSP Staudacher GS-300 .. 90" ARF (just in case you start selling these too)

problem:

1- The landing gear failed on mine after a slight bounce on the first landing. The axle twisted right out of the uni-directional fiberglass used in the landing gear. All of the fibers were running vertical.
2- The stringers used on teh bottom of the fuse in the tail section are very very thin and break if you stare at it long. I realize this was to save on weight, but they really are too fragile IMO.

solution
1- Aluminum gear to replace the fiberglass one it comes with
2- 1/4" spruce instead of what looked like 1/8" square wood used on the bottom of the fuse.


Other than those problems, it really was a beautiful ship!
