I've been around some guys who work in the magazine business and I can tell you that there are those who are straight up and those who play the game. I say that planes are like computer programs, let them be out long enough and everyone else will find the problems for you. I bought an Ultra R/C Giles and I knew EVERYTHING about the plane that could be a problem and even some things that aren't. Example, guys put a heavy gasser on the nose of the thing and then grouse about the landing gear breaking. Agreed, it is fragile but placing an anchor on the front of the thing only encourages the inevitable. Read as much as you can in both the magazines and the forums but don't believe everything you read. The truth is there in due time... for those who will listen to it.
