RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**
A warning!
Danger Will Robinson!
--------------------------
I received my second PTS P-51 directly from Horizon the other day. This time I purchased an ARF plane instead of the RTF.
Yesterday I was going to start working on the plane.
I was inspecting the fuselage, which was still sealed in it's plastic bag, under a bright florescent light.
Then I notice that it was infested with little critters.
These may have been lice, mites or termites in their smallest states. Slightly larger than grains of sand.
The bag was fully sealed with no holes or other penetrations.
It is likely that the wood stock used when the plane was built was itself infested, and no sort of bug control applied during it's storage or handling. This stands to reason give that it comes from China I believe.
In turn this means that you should carefully inspect yours.
If you see anything moving, contract Horizon.
It is highly likely that mine is not the only plane so afflicted.
