I've had two modeltech ARFs lately and both had similar problems...first was a Mach one, the second a brand new demon.
the first problem I had was the landing gear blocks are hot glued in and will fail at some point, so like an earlier post suggested...Thin CA and repeat upon assembly.
the second problem i had with both airplanes is that at some point the fuel tanks developed a leak around the neck and flooded the nose of the plan with raw fuel.
Might be wise to ditch the stock fuel tanks in favor of a better dubr/sullivan/hayes type.
However both planes do have positives, flew great, light and strong airframes.
Those problems are Pretty much shared by every ARF Manufacturer.
Dragon Lady is a fantastic flying, Rugged Model. The Se5A Is another winner. I've flown both and they're great. Their Fledgling Trainer is a wonderful flyer as well.
