I agree with you 100%.I think the problem here is to many people are willing to accept this behavior from retailers and mfg just to keep from having to build a kit to have a new plane.I for one am going back to kits.
After a while Lanier may change their atitude if people stop buying their products.
I bought the new Goldberg Yak and had the same problem,I should have known better,I do now!!!
