I have been flying my Reactor for about 1 1/2 years. This is a very nice flying plane and it's a shame the covering is so bad. I use to clean the plane and iron everything down when I would get home from the field but that doesn't work anymore. I now carry a roll of clear packing tape and normally after a couple flights I have to add tape to hold the covering on or hold the clear to the pigment. The wood is getting so fuel soaked that the plane wont be worth recovering if I ever decided to go that route. I hate it when your told "send it back and we'll take a look at it". 99.9% of us are not going to box up a completed model and pay the expense of shipping it back. They know this so that's why they make that statement. I never liked GP that much anyway for the fact that they always made big planes with a one piece wing. Very hard to transport.
