Here is a pic of the Warranty that is on the front of the Reactor Instruction Manual. I would think that if you plan on putting this Warranty on your product you should be bound by it. I can guarantee you that if you buy a new car and the paint starts to peel off that it would be repaired for no charge because it is under Warranty. The same should apply here. They have a Warranty and they should be bound by it. Never again will I buy a Great Planes product if they won't stand behind it.
