In response to LuftwaffeOberst comments about CMP, I think that maybe he should rethink many of them . I finished my CMP .50 Zero and flew it for the first time today. My only mistake was during the landing when I hit a soft spot on the field and she flipped over on her back resulting in a little rudder damage. But please note, it was MY fault, not the plane. Like most ARFs, a seasoned bulider will make modifications to the exisitng plane (whatever brand it is). The CMP quality in the fiberglass and covering were great out of the box. The last H9 P-47 I built for a customer needed major work with fuelproofing, the covering looked like a 80 year woman's skin getting out of a long shower, and I found many loose pieces that were not glued on successfully at the factory. I've found as I read many of the comments about how bad the planes are, it really looks like the company needs to contact the modelers (set up a thread) to see what has gone right and wrong. But, a lot the bad comments result in modelers not asking the right questions or doing the right things. I'm sure that the folks that have had no compliants will be more than willing to share what they did to have successful flights.
