Im entitled to a response to your comment. You highlighted my comment and added your input, so I did the same. Double standards? If you want to fly your planes without inspecting them and strengthening any areas you see fit, go ahead. It was just a comment to save issues and if the threads are read about any of the H9 warbirds, it seems most guys strenghten firewalls for piece of mind. I was just sharing information I have learned on these threads. Ideas are never a problem. Smart remarks such as yours are. Take it for what its worth.
Well, then, there, now.....
You don't need to worry about me reinforcing any of the H-9 stuff, or any other ARF/RTF/RTC or any other combination of things that may come to mind. I roll my own. I build my own, and don't for a minute trust what Jose Nguyen put together with hot glue in his shack in downtown Hue. And, I've been doing it for well over 50 years now, so I just might have enough experience to suit you.

Troll
Nope, no troll here. I have a lot of friends who have purchased these so called ARF's and have had the landing gear blocks fall out, the firewalls fall out, and the wings fold, even though they followed the instructions to the, "T". I agree that Horizon will normally make things right, but why not make them right to start? Things such as these issues tend to make a lot of people fall out of love with the hobby, and most of them will never return. As before, why not make them right the first time? How many new guys know to do these fixes? The problem children are not all warbirds either.
