Default RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

Roger, I sincerely hope that you are recovering well from your health issues and can return to building and flying your models. I reread my previous post and realized that it may have sounded negative toward you. I in no way hold any animosity toward you for phoning Mr. Charron, I have nothing but respect for your build and communication skills. In retrospect I shouldn't have used your name and I regret and apologize for doing so.

That being said, I cannot in all food conscience display or in any form support MB Planes. I will continue to support other modelers and club members, it just won't be with this product. I was fine with making the best out of a poor situation prior to Mr. Charron contacting me and in my opinion blaming me for building one of his models into a 9 1/2 pound plane and then admitting it's entirely possible and probable for these PLYWOOD kits to build out at 9 pounds. I purchased a kit that by manufacturer's spec should have weighed 7.2 pounds and fly on a minimum .46 2s or .60 4s, this is not what I was supplied.

Since you received a balsa version of this kit, it will probably fly very well and they are a very good looking model when completed. As I've said in a previous post, others may have had or will have a different experience than me. If we compare product and treatment experience, yours was / is far more desirable and what I would expect from a company that wants to sell and support their product

Roger, get well and back to the hobby soon.
