Unfortunately you started out with a Goldberg/Lanier product......don't give up on all ARF's until you try a quality product from Hanger 9, Great Planes, Sig, World Models, Kangke, etc. I've flown ARF's from each of these with great results.....I'm also flying my last Goldberg product (77" Yak 54) unless things with them change drastically. Poor quality and horrible customer service..........
