I think that's a nice response by gp grod; hope they help out. I have a GP Reactor, and it too uses 2-56 hardware. In the thread here on RCU, most replace that with 4-40 stuff, which I did also. Never had any flutter, but I did notice both an aileron and an elevator rod bent during 3D flying when using the original 2-56 stuff. I do agree that for a $200+ plane, the hardware could be a little better. I am eyeing another mid-size plane to probably go electric instead of glow, and there are several planes (3D Hobby Shop Su-26, Extreme Flight Extra, Precision Aero Extra MX)out there that include better hardware(4-40, ball links instead of clevises, carbon gear and/or wing tubes, etc) for only a few dollars more than the GP stuff. Don't get me wrong, I have always like the GP stuff, but I hope they take notice of some of this.
