Bax, As I stated in earlier post the plane now has damage due to the crash caused by the elevator covering coming off, causing a severe trim change. Will you still be willing to help. The tail section is still assembled requiring a very large box . How do you want it packaged. Cut apart the tail section? Would you have a idea how much it would cost from Belleville Il. Not very far but far enought?
Looks like several guys posting problems here are from either Illinois or Wisconsin. Maybe you all need to take a vacation day, pack your problems into the family truckster and head out to visit Great Planes in person.
Like many here, I have had problems with Great Planes ARF covering jobs and have recovered 4 airplanes before they were assembled or flown. Kinda defeats the purpose of an ARF, doesn't it. I'm no newbe at this either as I have been at this hobby for nearly 40 years now. I'd hate to think how many yards of Monokote and Ultracote I have applied over the years with no problems using the "real" stuff.
In a post above, one person mentioned a problem with black covering on a Wild Hare plane. I have a new, unassembled Wild Hare Extra here and its black covering is clearly not UltraCote .... the yellow and red are the real stuff though. The black has a separation problem that will have to be repaired by replacing part of the covering before the plane is assembled. Looks like covering problems are not limited to GP products.
