Stick , thanks , its a cheapy but I felt it had some potentail .
I think your post make a great point when you said "the manufactuer should state the steps needed to be taken to make the model safe "
The scary part is I have personally read and seen some of the issues and when there not corrected there scary .
1)CMP 73" P40 , the spinner wont take the pressure of a big 4 stroke , it will shatter on you and in your face-should simply be left off the plane
2)There was a very popular German Arf warplane sold for $200 on ebay , tail comes off in flight , I think one was flown in warbirds over Deleware last year .
I dont want to bore everyone , but any model useing glow fuel really needs the suppliers and the guys on RCU to make sure we spread the word on tips for safety .
