Default RE: CONTINUATION..H9 HELLCAT MINES OK HOWS YERS?

Well the horizontal tail is on it now. I think I should have sent it back. I am so pissed at the way this plane lines up. The distance from tip to tail is 3/8 longer on one side. I slid the wing over as much as I can in the rear. If I go any more the belly will stick out on one side. So I lined up the tail with the wing. But now the stab is 3/8 different to the top mounting block on the firewall from side to side. The workmanship and covering are awesome, but nothing lines up for ****. I have no idea what this thing is going to fly like. I hope it trims out. With the elevater being a little off to match the wing I hope it still pulls straight in the vertical. I would think it might have a slight dog track, but I am not flying pattern with it anyway.
What do you guys think. Should I go in the back yard and cut it up into kindling. I am so frustrated with this plane it isn't even funny.[] You guys are so lucky that you recieved a kit that went together straight. I have never seen a model kit or ARF that fits like this.[X(]
