I have just finished assembling the Staggering Wing. I have assembled many kits and ARF's over the past 65 years but with out a doubt this one is, as far as quality control the worst, ever. I spent ( as did one of my friends) 10 hours minimum working on the covering wrinkles were all over the covered surfaces. This is not to mention the miss located pins or maybe it was the holes. One wing has a slit in it right out of the bag. The pull pull wire tubes were not in the correct place. The cowling is not the same color as the rest of the aircraft and the paint is very britle. It is already cracked is several spots. I am now deciding where to mount the 1.7 lbs of lead to get it to balence. I have assembled two of their Pitts and had no problems like this one. I would think that for the price this one could have been looked at much closer than my ARF was. There were parts missing such as the wire fthat actuated the landing gear door flaps. One wheel was missing. I will say that there was pleanty of nuts and bolts that went nowhere. Top Flite has done a grate job on this offering as far as it goes, the problems are small ones and it looks GREAT on the bench. I sure hope it fly's as good as it looks. I this will be my third Staggerwing, Two from Byron and one from plans built from the Old Sid Morgan Plans.[&o] Top F;ite arf are good but some one missed the boat on this one.....[&o]
