Default E-Flite Covering Issues

theres no doubt E-Flite make a nice product, but to this day, every E-flite aircraft I have owned (and theres quite a few, including 2 mini-funtana's, Mini-pulse, Mini-edge, Cub 25 etc) have had major issues with coverings, each one has been wrinkled to the point of unrepair, my first mini-funtana was that bad I simply threw it away.

The E-Flite aircraft are by no means the cheapest arf electrics out there (im not a foamy fan so i wont start on them) and the flight charastics of their products are quite good, but the covering is almost as bad as some "world models" aircraft I have had.

Just today I maidened a E-Flite Cub 25, beautiful plane, flew nicely, but again the covering on the fuse has alot to be desired. There is actualy part of the fuse that has been "patched" on a seam from the factory, and try as I did, I could not get the wrinkles off the thing.

Is it just my run of bad luck with these models, or has anyone else had problems with the covering?

(I have alot of planes, probably too many, all ranging from Phoenix arf to Hanger 9 products and alot inbetween, so when I complain about covering, I know it sounds minor, but if a phoenix model or CmPro model can get it right, why cant E-flite)
