Well, I must admit, it looks great on the box art, but now that I've been trying to get rid of all the wrinkles in the covering, GP's quality department needs to start inspecting every 100th or so kit. I just spent about 4 hours trying to make a prune look like a plane, one wing tip looks like they bonded the covering down to the tip former so it shows a 1/4' of flat balsa on the tip, the covering, no matter how high I go on my Top flight iron, will not shrink, just gas, and I pop the bubbles and it still won't shrink, and the checker board pattern apparently will rub off if you use sig thinner for dope to clean up the epoxy excess. I actually can't wait to fly this bird, but I can't wait even more when I get my first hole in the covering! I will not hesitate to rip the crap covering job right off this bird and cover it in a good craftsmanship, covering job. It's almost like they put the covering in an oven at 400 degrees and then covered the plane, it just won't shrink. Except the cheap garbage covering on the bottom. That will pull if it get luke warm from sun light. If you buy one, try your best to shrink it but don't be upset when you can't get that monocote to shrink. I just don't understand, I bought a GP pitts about 5 years ago, the covering was wrinkled, but it all came out just fine, this is hopeless.
