Default Product Alert Alpha Trainer!

Thank you Mike


First off there was no racial slur intent on the Car wing thing, it simply common lingo for the popular japanese cars with oversize rear wings.

Second I did not crash the plane nor did I loose control of it. Again, the intent is to warn beginners whom are the very people buying / flying this plane (As you know flying is not always with an instructor).

Believe me, had this happened to a beginner on her/his own a few flights after the first solo the instability of the plane was such that the outcome could have been disastrous.

Third, I do have every intent to notify Horizon of this defect as I believe they can be in for serious liability.

Lastly I never intended to lambast Horizon or the plane, it does fly great as a trainer as mentionned on the first post. I just know that this trainer is getting very popular and want others to benefit from my experience and enjoy the hobby instead of having an unexplained crash on their first trainer and give up.

I hope I am clear this time.

Regards,
