Ill start off my saying I have the edge, and the ultimate, both went together with no problems, and both fly awesome.. In my opinion, new owners of an existing business have the choice to do what they want, keep in mind, they just got done shelling out alot of denaro to aquire a company, and have to figure things out and go from there...

My question, did you assemble it 'stock' with the stock parts, or did you modify it? Lets see some pictures of the problem.

The other manufacturers you mention, have they changed hands recently and are going through what BME/PAU is? To my knowledge NO. Herve cares about his customers, and does a fantastic job taking care of them.

I know for a fact the customer service is even better under the new ownership. Going back through the Edge thread, I’ve not seen one post of yours speaking of anything wrong with the plane and you’ve had it for time now. I feel that 20% off for the parts seems reasonable to me, You bought that plane from Max, not Herve.
