Has anyone out there bought the G-trick and had problems putting it together. This kit cost me 560.00 and the darn wings would not fit the airframe. What a Joke!!!!!! :confused:

I agree!!!!!!!!!! It is a joke.

When I got mine earlier this year I sent the darn thing back to Tower Hobbies and got my 500+ dollars back. Couple of the formers were loose, and the fiberglass cowling looked like crap.

zens are junk also. ordered the zen 90,when i got it some ply fell apart in my hands. nothing fit right and the covering was unrecoverable. thumbs down on chinese built pattern planes.

It is nice to know what guys are thinking out there. Thanks for the reply.

Mixed emotions -

mine went together without a hitch ($499 at Chief Aircraft in Dec. 01) but after a minor, minor mishap on the 4th flight I came to severly like the build quality. I can vouch for the loose formers and no glue between balsa sides and lite-ply doublers. No glue in firewall or landing gear area.

To their credit, GP offered to send me a new one - but I elected not to - why? Because I went through all the hassle to make mine flyable and to the point I was comfortable it staying together. I didn't want to go through the time and hassle of getting a new one up to the level of my current one.

I love the way it flies (YS 91FZ) and wouldn't give up the plane now, but I probably would look elsewhere when I am in the market for such a plane in the future? Maybe Piedmont's Focus, only $595 now (ARC). But then again, I heard some minor things about them.

Anyways, I noticed some cracks in the balsa sides near the mid - to - rear part of the plane (in the blue covering area behind the wing... I have to strip the covering this weekend and repair cracked sheeting... UGH!)

PS - it's ultracote.
