Well I picked up the Escapade ARF on May 7th. Here it is June 3rd and after numerous emails with these pictures of the damage some with the plastic still on, I still have had no help. They emailed me back to say they didn't get the pictures and have no idea what i'm talking about. I'm getting very frustrated. It was a birthday gift for my 11 year old son and I'm not excepting the damage. My LHS says to call GP. I feel I'm in a no win situation. Hope that GP comes thru this time or I am done with there products. I understand that these things happen but what am I to do. My LHS does not want me opening it up in the store and then after getting it home this is what my son gets to open for his birthday. And then to add insult to injury I get the run a round for a month.

PS I also bought a GP cub for myself and that ARF came with broken wood in the wing tip. I told GP I would live with it as they have been good to me in the past but they have really dropped the ball this time and are about to lose one of there good customers. I buy GP prducts above all else because of the great service I have recieved but this one is going to sting for a long time. I've sent an email with this thread and I'm hoping I can report back that GP has finally come through. Cross your fingers. Thanks for listening.

Not sure what happened with all my emails but I'm happy and my son is looking forward to July when his new Escapade comes in. Thanks for all the reply's. I appreciate the advice on my issue. </span></span>
