Default RE: New TF B-25 ARF?

i HAVE HAD MANY GP and 2-Top Flite GIant ARF's
THe Giant TF Cesna 310 twin Had Perfect covering job.
The GIant TF P-51 had not so good covering job... I have to comment on this:
I think for a short while TF monocote had some problems with there covering..... Although they will neveer admit it....
THe clear covering would separate from the glue, due to having to be heated soo hot just to shrink it down properly....
The p-51 mustang and a 33% cap 580 were bought during this time period and that was when they were having the issues...
I believe that this problem has been taken care of and sorted so all the new planes are near perfect in every way of covering.....
My GP Hawk (recent bought) perfect... No wrinkles at all
MY GP cap 580 (recently purchased) PErfect
A GP VenusII Perefct
And as stated perviously the TF Cesna 310 twin.....PERFECT!!!

I believe that you can expect this same quality from the Giant B-25 as well.....

I also Beleave in what Krproton states about the entire long explanation about ARF's in General....
I also would like to add, that I had not, in the past thought of my self as a very good at covering with TF Monokote, untill
I used it quite a bit and have become very proficient at it....

I will add this...
I have seen the recent quality that has come out from both GP and TF and there covering jobs with TF monokote are very good.... better than what I can do, and I consider myself pretty good at it,,,, But they are better...

By it and if it is not up to you expectations, I am sure you could return it with out and issues at all... My personal dealings with Hobbico as that they will support there products
and stand by them at all costs, even if it is to replace a downed aircraft do to no enough glue..... Even after a year after purchase.....
They sent me a brand new plane 3-days after I sent it to them....

I know I have rambled....
