Rog, I have a little Mustang Simple Series kit that I have never started either for pretty much the same reason, I hate covering too. Mostly because I suck so bad at it!! One of these days I should build it though. I have a good running OS .25 just sitting there on the shelf. I also have an OS .10 from 1964 of my Dad's that also still runs like a swiss watch. The .10 would probably be a better match for it. The .25 might be a bit too much I'll have to look at the kit again to see what size they say it was designed for. At that Hobby People site they also have a Tequila Sunrise ARF that is made for a .25 too. It's a pretty nice little plane but it was a bit squirrely. It didn't take me long to crash it.

Anyway you might like it, take a look.
I'm kind of interested to hear what happened with them in the past with you. I had a small issue when the Sunrise arrived with the wrong wheel pants but they sent me the right set out straight away & told me to keep the red ones for spares so I didn't have any problems with them really. Everyone makes mistakes & damages happen so those things don't upset me. It how you take care of these type of things that make or break ya in my book. Like anyone else though if a companies customer service policies are lacking I'd like to know about it. My way of thinking is, if they'll screw you, they'll screw me too![:@] So pm me when ya get a chance & give me the heads up please, thanks.
