Bax, Just all you have to say is if Great Planes is going to stand up and honor the warranty or not, and this may go away. There was a time when there was only a few manufacters of planes, but as you must know we can by planes from hundreds of importers now. There will always be new flyers that don't know alot about quality built planes to by your products. I don't have deep enought pockets and time to waste on poor quality that won't last that long and must be replaced or repaired almost out of the box.[:@]
