Default RE: Alpha 60 Fuel Line bubbles on prime

the tank only goes in one way, the stopper is towards the top, so if you put it in wrong, the stopper and tubes have no way through the firewall, they put the stopper on upside down, and they did not cut the hole in the firewall correctly, the stopper cannot fit into the hole, it is too small, someone just shoved it up against the firewall and screwed in the brace, turned on the receiver switch and put it in a box, they probably thought it was funny.

This is just one of many things wrong with this plane. The tail feels like it would rip off after a couple of loops and that's even after I glued it in, it is only suppose to be held on with 2 screws, no gluing.

Horizon said they are going to send me a shipping label to send my plane back and then they will send me a new plane after I send this one back. I hope they follow through since I've spent $400.00 for this plane a month ago and it has never flown and will not even run, now I have to wait a couple of more weeks to get this resolved.

The bottom line is it is a BEGINNER/TRAINER Ready To Fly airplane and I should not have to put it in the shop to have someone replace parts and tune it, I shouldn't have to jury rig other parts like I have had to do either.

The plane should start right away for beginners, we shouldn't have to be experts in engine tuning and fuel systems to start a Begginer Ready to Fly Airplane and the tail shouldn't rip off on the first loop.
