RE: Top Flite Staggerwing
I did notice on three of the eight holes that there was a void between the fiberglass and the wood rails. I just drilled the hole all the way thruogh and used longer #6 screws. But now they have the entire kit returned for replacement as there were so many other problems with it. At any rate, they now have it and are looking it over and will replace it. These things sometimes happen. I had a couple of cars that were absolute lemons and had to be replaced.
Sounds like some of you are progressing quite well with some first flights. It is snowing, sleeting and raining here so our flying season is about over. Will have to put the skis on the trainer and go have some fun in the snow.
