I purchased one of these planes and Ive gotta say that they fly extremely well, very accurate and forgiving, but Ive also gotta say that in the pursuit of a light weight airframe, the aircraft just doesnt hold up. I have only around 45 flights on mine and already I have had to replace the cowl, after it started to split around the front very badly. now after only a few flights the new cowl is developing splits in the same area. The landing gear is weak as water and the airframe needs some sort of repair after almost every flying session, the glue just lets go in the fuselage.. Maybe I got a one off lemon. I cant fault the flying caracteristics, its really nice, but for the money these planes cost, I expected it to last as long as any other one of my planes, but Im sorry to say, "the thing is falling apart",,, And, "no",, not from pulling violent manouvers. I have cheeper planes that are just as good, but also hold together..... Has anyone else had similar issues with this plane?
