Default RE: 40 pitts structural problem

If you've heard enough then why do you keep going on about it.

Send it my way instead!

I have no problems flying it.

Nylon clevis are provided by most manufacturers for planes of this size.
Z bends are used by everyone, GP, etc.

If you don't like them, replace them. I've installed quick connects in mine. A pack only cost a few dollars.


If you don't want to put your Saito in it, put in a cheap T.H. .46. It will fly BETTER with it as it will produce far more power.



I don't see a "lie" about the plane's value. They "value" it at $124.00 which is a GREAT deal for what you get.

Do you normally believe in "Manufacturer's suggested retail pricing?" Check out what Tower and Horizon post on their web sites.



You are speculating about how and if it would break.


I've flown it. You haven't. It takes a LOT of abuse if you put it together right.


If you don't trust it, you may want to consider how you've put it together.



Re: Manual

Yes, this is known... and a caveat for anyone purchasing NP ARF's.

If you need a detailed manual, you are not ready yet for these planes.

I see a lot of venting ( primarily precipitated by the original Stearman "user error" ) and no real attempt to solve a problem.

Why grind this axe?

Who's slighted you? I'm not seeing it.

Have a gander at this particular and very insightful post to someone with similiar complaints about a Showtime that they lost in flight.

I think that it applies here.
