To be fair to my LHS they would have exchanged it had they had another one. I expected to have been fixed up already and still hope that GP will come thru for me. They always have in the past. The LHS is very small and did allow me to pop the top off but everything looked good. Not the room to take things out and the way they tape everything it takes room to open everything up properly. This is my last hope and it would be a shame to have too order 2 rolls of covering for $40 to patch holes in a brand new plane. I've sent the link for this thread to GP so they can hopefully see the damage. Will let you know. Thanks

I sent pictures to GP of the box with zero damage to the outside. I know my LHS will take care of me but now I have to go back to them a month later. In the future I have told them that I will be inspecting every surface. They don't have a problem with that. Great Planes are the one's that told me in the past to not go back to my LHS. They said they would fix it, and they did, just not this time.
